Basics
There are three methods by which your document’s color can
be managed and adjusted:
1. Application Color Management
Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Quark Xpress
have their own built-in color management systems.
Most applications do not have these color management
features and rely instead on the printer or operating
system.
2. Operating System Color Management
Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP have Windows ICM color
Management.
Mac OS and Mac OS X have Apple ColorSync.
3. Printer Color Management
When you print your document and modify settings in the
printer driver, the printer performs color adjustments.
Important! Only use one color management system if you
want the best results from your printer.
If you wish to use your printer’s color management system,
ensure that your application or operating system color
management is switched off.
Applying color management in multiple places will give
unpredictable results.
