Which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color matching problem depends on the Color
Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or
images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK
combinations). The following table identifies which Color Samples pages to use:
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software application does not specify
colors with RGB or CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the
software application or the computer's operating system will adjust the RGB or CMYK
combinations specified in the application through color management. The resulting
printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
