Color settings in the Print dialog box
The ColorSync color-matching system makes sure that colors look as
consistent as possible no matter what device you use to view them—monitor
or printer. In addition, ColorSync helps give you the best possible colors
when you export the image to another Mac OS–based computer with
ColorSync installed or print it on another color printer.
With ColorSync turned on and the Automatic matching method selected, the
computer chooses the best matching method for the contents of the document
you are printing. With Automatic matching, the matching method varies from
object to object on each page to ensure the best matching for each object. If
you are not satisfied with the results, you can choose the option you want
from the Matching Method pop-up menu. Most of the time, however, the
Automatic setting is best.
If you have obtained additional printer profiles from other software
companies, you can use the Printer Profile pop-up menu to choose the one
you want. (The additional profiles should come with instructions telling you
how to choose the appropriate one.)
