It also includes advanced features such as color profiles and spot colors, making it particularly suitable for tasks that require precise color matching and high-quality print outputs.; Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide).
