Apple 6500 Setting the ColorSync System Profile, ColorSync System Profile control panel appears

For the best color on your Color StyleWriter 6500 printer, you need to choose a specific profile for your monitor. In the ColorSync control panel, choose the D50 profile for your monitor. If there is no D50 available for your monitor, choose Apple Multiple Scan 17 – D50. The D50 profile gives you better “warm” colors.

For the best visual match between the colors on your monitor and printed colors, select the Page-White Gamma option in the Monitors control panel or in the Monitors and Sound control panel that comes with most newer Mac OS computers.

On a multiscan monitor, make sure that the color temperature, or intensity, is set to 9300 K (the default setting). See the monitor manual for instructions. If you select the Page-White Gamma option with a color temperature other than 9300 K, your monitor colors could look too red or too blue compared to printed colors.
