A system for producing an image from a page description prepared for a target output device includes an input module for providing a page description, memory for storing processing and data modules, a processor operatively coupled to the input module and to the memory for processing the page description using the stored processing and data modules and an output device for forming a physical manifestation of the processed page description. The processing modules and data module provide for the selection of an output device for printing. When the target output device is selected, the color data is processed in accordance with the page description. When a device other than the target device is selected (a proofing device) the color data is intercepted, converted from the color space associated with the target device and converted to the color space associated with the proofing device by converting the data through a device independent color space. |
