Using ColorSync

ColorSync is Apple’s unique color-matching software that ensures that Apple color printers print the best possible reproduction of the colors that appear on your monitor screen. ColorSync is also used by Apple color scanners and the QuickTake camera to capture color images and accurately reproduce their colors on the screen. ColorSync maintains consistent colors between color input, your monitor, and color printing devices so that the colors of your original image are accurately reproduced on screen and when printed.

The ColorSync software works automatically in the background. When you install the display software, your computer is automatically set to use ColorSync with your monitor.

If you use more than one color monitor with your Macintosh and want to print a color image from a specific monitor, you can obtain the best color matching by setting ColorSync to use a specific monitor.

To set up ColorSync for a specific monitor:

1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu.

A window opens showing all the control panels.

2Double-click the ColorSync icon to open the ColorSync control panel.

The ColorSync control panel appears.
