A method of mapping a color produced by an image device in a presentation color space to a destination color space including steps of receiving the color from the image device, determining if color is to be preserved, converting the color to the destination color space using a default profile if it is determined that color is to be preserved, and converting the color to the destination color space using a device-specific profile absent a determination that color is to be preserved.

We claim: 1. A color management system comprising: an image device configured to present an initial-formatted color image defined in a presentation color space; a print processor configured to receive the initial-formatted color image from the image device, to convert the initial-formatted color image from the presentation color space to a destination color space using a device-specific profile to produce a device-formatted color image, to convert the initial-formatted color image from the presentation color space to the destination color space using a default profile to produce a default-formatted color image the default profile being adapted to preserve primary colors of the presentation color space, to produce a resultant color image in the destination color space with primary colors derived using the default profile and non-primary colors derived using the device-specific prolile by weighted combination of the device-formatted color image with the default-formatted color image, to convert the resultant color image from the destination color space to the presentation color space to produce a color-preserved color image in the presentation color space, and to convert the color-preserved color image from the presentation color space to a printing color space; and a print engine configured to pint the color-preserved color image in the printing color space. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the image device is a monitor. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the presentation color space is RGB color space. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the destination color space is CIE XYZ color space. 5. The system of claim 1, which further comprises receiving the device-specific profile from the image device. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the printing color space is CMYK color space.
