PageMaker's open structure allows you to use a compatible color management system (Color Management System or CMS) to better manage the colors displayed on the screen and in the final output. Each device, scanner, monitor, desktop printer, and printing press can display or recreate a limited set of colors. The color spectrum that a device can reconstruct is called it's a color gamut. The color gamut of many devices is recorded by the manufacturer in a file called Device Profile.


CMS (Color Management System) translates the colors of a device from a color gamut, or color space, into a device-independent model, and then fits the color information on the color gamut. Profiles, and measure device-dependent color information between devices. Color management is very important in devices that have a small color gamut, such as desktop printers. The smaller the color gamut, the more useful it is to reconcile the color gamut differences with the CMS.
