Understanding color mapping tables

A color mapping table consists of a base part, a set of source groups, and a set of target groups. The base part identifies the color mapping table with a type of reset or normal.

The simplest possible color mapping table is a reset color mapping table, which tells the printer to do no transformations on the color information found in the document. A reset color mapping table has no source or target groups; all other color mapping tables have at least one source and one target group.
