New on CTAN: printcolormanager
New package: printcolormanager The printcolormanager package provides an automated and unified color management workflow for LaTeX documents. It allows users to easily prepare the same document for different output media, such as CMYK for professional printing, RGB for screen viewing, or grayscale for black-and-white printing, simply by changing a single package option. Key features of version 1.0: - Global package options to switch the target color model (CMYK, RGB, gray, HSB, Lab). - A unified macro to define exact, manual values for custom colors across all color spaces. - Built-in prepress protections, including predefined Pure Black for typography and Rich Black for large background areas. - Automatic adaptation of xcolor and TikZ elements to the selected output.

printColorManager – Automated color model management (CMYK, RGB, Gray) for print and digital
The printColorManager package provides a robust and automated workflow for handling color models in LaTeX documents. It is designed for users who need to output the same document for different media, such as CMYK for professional printing, RGB for screen/web viewing, and grayscale for black-and-white printing.
Built on top of the xcolor package, it introduces a unified macro (\definePrintColor) that allows users to explicitly set exact values for CMYK, RGB, and Gray for their custom brand colors, overriding automated and often inaccurate mathematical conversions. It also features built-in definitions for typographic 'Pure Black' and background 'Rich Black' to ensure professional prepress quality.
