With the work being done on the display stack around HDR and color management there is a risk that some of the older stuff fall to the side. Is there anyone reading this using or relying on the ICC color profiles for printers? Is it useful? I been told it basically isn't, but I would love to hear a counterargument if anyone got one. #linux #printing #fedora #colormanagement

@Cfkschaller I'm certainly not an expert on graphic stacks, but if you want to print pictures and prefer your colors to come out somewhat accurate, ICC is the best solution right now as far as I know.

I have also not heard of a better alternative...

@ixs yeah, I think though that there are multiple adjacent technologies here. There is ICC data embedded in graphics files which I think is what your talking about, while I am talking about generic ICC files for specific printers

@Cfkschaller I mean, you need both, right?

A color profile embedded in the picture is helpful, but only part of it.

To ensure that the yellow on your picture which looks "right"on the screen also comes out as yellow instead of beige on the print you need ICC in the file, and you need ICC profiles for your screen and your printer.
