A color mapping is an element that maps (transforms) a source color value into a new target color value. Color mapping is applied during the job RIP process. Color mapping also applies to color bars and information bars.
You add one or more color mappings to a color mapping group. A color mapping group enables the combination of different color mappings. You can assign the color mapping group to a color preset.
