Ah I see, you are worried about _"what printer do I have connected"_ as a fingerprinting vector. **No, that doesn't happen.** Here is why. In an ICC workflow you have two ICC profiles. One (the one being downloaded because the CSS links to it) tells you what the **input** colors mean (the colors used on the web page). It says how to convert those colors to the profile connection space (CIE XYZ or Lab). The other (which may come with the screen/printer, or be measured by the user to create their own) tells you what the **output** colors are; how to convert from the profile connection space to whatever the screen or printer uses. This CSS feature is about **input profiles**, _only_. It does not, and cannot (the CSS would have a list of every screen and printer in the world?) affect the output profile. The color management system uses the two profiles together to convert input colors to output colors. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7597#issuecomment-1233023242 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
