| 1. A method for selecting the best device or best set of devices for the rendering of a color document, comprising:
determining the types of color data included in the color document to be printed by determining a mix of defined colorimetry
and undefined colorimetry in the color document and by analyzing colorspaces and embedded profiles in the document;
once the type of color data has been determined, matching the color characteristics against the strengths of the available
output devices to obtain a list of devices best suited for this particular color print job;
selecting at least one device from the list of best devices; and
rendering the color document onto the selected device.
