Color Management Options
The Kodak Professional 8670 PS thermal printer (8670 printer) produces
accurate and consistent color across software applications and computer
platforms. Since the 8670 printer produces such accurate and consistent
color, you may not need to use the printer’s color management features.
However, if you wish to use color management, the 8670 printer has two
color management options, the Kodak Professional Colorflow ICC color
connector (color connector) and PANTONE
®*
Color.
Color Connector
When you use applications such as Adobe Photoshop or QuarkXPress,
the colors you see on your monitor may appear differently from the colors
in the output from your printer. In addition, both may appear differently
from your original image. White clouds in a scanned photograph may
appear yellow on your computer monitor and change to a greenish tint on
your printed copy.
This inconsistency occurs because the methods used to reproduce color
vary significantly. Monitors and scanners represent colors as a
combination of red, green, and blue (RGB), while printers produce color
by using various combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
(CMYK). Input and output devices are also limited by the range of colors
they can produce.
