Viewing conditions
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For

standard office fluorescent lighting.
ICC Color Profile Select
Apple provides a ColorSync Utility → Devices that allows selection
of the OKI supplied ICC color profile for your monitor. The profile will
attempt to calibrate the monitor to more closely match the printer’s
output. However, merely selecting the profile will not automatically
produce perfect results as many factors will contribute to the gamut
of color selection.
1. Navigate to the utility by accessing your Local Hard Drive —
Applications → Utilities → ColorSync Utility.
2. Click the arrow next to Displays and select your monitor (in this
example it is iMac). In the Current Profile area click the down
arrow and select Other... to access the OKI Color Profile.
