This disclosure relates to the color management of image output devices. Specifically, this disclosure provides methods, apparatus and systems to generate a destination printer profile for coated images. According to one exemplary method, the destination printer profile is generated by printing a plurality of color patches which are then coated, measuring the color attributes associated with the coated color patches, and modifying a destination printer profile to compensate for differences between the printed and coated color patches, relative to a respective reference color.
