Color Matching
Choosing a Color Matching Method
General Information
There is no one way to achieve a good match between the
document displayed on your monitor, and its 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. The method you choose
is determined by the type of document you are printing.
• most common [RGB]. See page 173.
• professional desktop publishing and graphics [CMYK].
See page 173.
• photographic images. See page 174.
• specific colors (i.e., a company logo). See page 175.
• printing vivid colors. See page 176.
NOTE
These suggestions are for guidance only.
Your results may vary depending on the application from
which you are printing.
Some applications override, without warning, any color
matching settings in the printer driver.
