Any piece of equipment used in the creation, processing, or output of a digital file in a printing workflow, such as a scanner, monitor, or printer. Each device has its own unique way of interpreting and reproducing color, defined by its color gamut. To manage color consistency, a device profile, created using a colorimeter or spectrophotometer, characterizes the specific color behavior of that piece of equipment.
