Software developers have created applications that can build custom device profiles that conform to the standards established by the International Color Consortium (ICC). These software applications must address several color reproduction issues during the construction of an ICC device profile. The color reproduction issues could be controlled by input from the person building the profile or by predetermined algorithms. Collecting input from the profile builder requires specific features in the user interface of the software application. The challenge for the software developer is the trade-off between full featured controls to satisfy the needs of an expert profile builder and limited controls to provide ease of use for a novice profile builder.
