    Acquiring Color Measurement Data For Any Color Chart
    The procedure for printing a color chart, measuring the colors, and saving the color measurement data on a computer
    is as follows.
    The color measurement data saved on the computer can be used such as for creating ICC profiles. ICC profiles are
    created using commercially available software.
    Created ICC profiles can be used by the printer driver.   (See "Matching pane .")
