Colors are inaccurate
If the colors of your print do not match your expectations, try the following:

panel and in your software. To check on the front panel, use the View loaded paper key 
. At the same time, check the color calibration status. If the status is PENDING or OBSOLETE, you should perform color calibration: see Color calibration on page 74. If you have made any changes, you may wish to reprint your job in case the problem has been solved.

Color accuracy using EPS or PDF images in page layout applications
Page layout applications such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress do not support color management of EPS, PDF, or grayscale files.
If you have to use such files, try to ensure that the EPS, PDF, or grayscale images are already in the same color space that you intend to use later on in Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. For instance, if your final goal is to print the job in a press that follows the SWOP standard, convert the image into SWOP when you create it.
