Apple 2400 manual Color printing quirks

With ColorSync turned on and the Automatic matching method selected, the Macintosh chooses the best matching method for the contents of the document you are printing. If you need to override the automatically selected color-matching method, you can choose the option you want from the Matching Method pop-up menu. Most of the time, however, the Automatic setting is best.

Automatic lets the Macintosh choose the best color-matching method for your document.

If you have obtained additional printer profiles from other software companies, you can use the Printer Profile pop-up menu to choose the one you want. (The additional profiles should come with instructions telling you how to choose the appropriate one.)

If you don’t have additional printer profiles, leave this set to Automatic.

Once you’ve made your choices, click OK to return to the Print dialog box.

Click Print.

To save the ColorSync settings with this document, choose Save from the File menu.

For more information on ColorSync, see Appendix D.

Here is some additional information about color printing.

mDifferent programs may define colors in different ways. When you choose a red in one program, you may not be able to find an exact match in another program. You can adjust the color in the second program until you’re satisfied with the printed results. To see how different programs define color, consult the manuals that came with your programs.

mColor printing takes longer than black-and-white printing. The printer must sort through more data and use more ink to complete the job, and this takes time.
