              Appeal  2006-3279                                                                      
              Application 10/039,668                                                                 
              Technology Center 2600                                                                 
              structure has components shared by the nodes and other components present              
              only at each node.  The system provides color calibration data at each node            
              that characterizes output colors of the rendering device of the node.                  
              Information, responsive to the color calibration data of the rendering device          
              of the node, is produced for transforming the input color image data into              
              output color image data at the rendering device.  That information is stored           
              in the data structure in different ones of the shared and individual                   
              components.  The system also provides means for transforming at each node              
              the input color image data into output color image data for the rendering              
              device of the node.  The rendering device of each node renders a color                 
              reproduction of the image data responsive to the output color image data,              
              such that colors displayed at the rendering device at each node appear                 
              substantially the same throughout the network.  Holub col. 9, ll. 8-34.                
                    In the embodiment of Figure 3A, system 100 includes a network 11                 
              having prototype nodes 102 and production nodes 104.  Each node has a                  
              computer and a rendering device for producing color reproduction and a                 
              color measuring instrument (CMI) for measuring the color output of the                 
              rendering device.  Holub col. 11, l. 66 - col. 12, l. 19.                              
                    At prototype nodes 102, a user may perform pre-publishing functions              
              such as proofing and inputting digital color image data.  The rendering                
              devices at prototype node 102 may include a video screen display device 17.

                    The rejection of claim 1 does not identify what may be considered a              
              “view condition” for an image in the cited portions of Holub.  Since we are            
              not told what the rejection of claim 1 considers to be a “view condition” in
