CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD
There is no one correct way to achieve a good color match between
the document displayed on your monitor, and it’s printed equivalent.
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and
reproducible color.
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color
output from your printer. There are several suggested methods,
depending on the type of document you are printing.
RGB or CMYK?
The guidlines for choosing a color matching method makes
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, Black (CMYK).
Generally, most office documents you print will be in RGB format.
This is the most common, and, if you do not know your document’s
color mode, assume that it is RGB.
Typically CMYK documents are only used in professional Desktop
Publishing and Graphics applications.
NOTE
These suggestions are for guidance only.
Your results may vary depending on the
application from which you are printing.
Some applications will override any color
matching settings in the printer driver without
warning.
