1. A method for color accuracy checking, the method comprising:
selecting areas within a document for color-checking, the document desired to be printed by a user, the areas being other than particular areas added to or that are part of the document solely or primarily for color accuracy checking; confirming that a second printing of the document has measured color values which deviate within tolerances from measured color values of a first printing of the document within each of the selected areas; and forming a job ticket comprising the selected areas and color values for each of the selected areas; wherein forming the job ticket comprises:
expressing the color values for each of the selected areas as a range, wherein breadth of each range is controlled according to a required precision of the associated selected area, wherein the breadths of the ranges of the color values of the selected areas are capable of being different, wherein the breadth of the range of the color values of a first selected area is narrower than the breadth of the range of the color values of a second selected area.
