Overview

Keeping industrial applications in the forefront, Total Colour Management provides basic yet comprehensive knowledge on the many aspects of colour management. Divided into two sections, the book explores the separate processes of measuring and managing colour. The book touches briefly of theoretical aspects but is firmly rooted in the practical. It delineates how to implement colour management strategies to the working environment. Each section includes references for further information and discussions of future trends. Written by a panel of specialists guided by expert editorship, the book gives readers a solid working knowledge of how to approach colour management. Total colour management will prove invaluable for individuals from a variety of disciplines and organisation levels in colour management, colour quality monitoring and evaluation as well as for graphic designers, merchandisers, product development specialists and anyone who uses colour in their work. It is also of use to academics and students researching textiles, fashion, design, fine arts, or any colour related subjects.
