Color Management Options
The Kodak Professional 8670 PS thermal printer (8670 printer) produces accurate and consistent color across software applications and computer platforms. Since the 8670 printer produces such accurate and consistent color, you may not need to use the printer’s color management features. However, if you wish to use color management, the 8670 printer has two color management options, the Kodak Professional Colorflow ICC color connector (color connector) and PANTONE®* Color.
Color Connector
When you use applications such as Adobe Photoshop or QuarkXPress, the colors you see on your monitor may appear differently from the colors in the output from your printer. In addition, both may appear differently from your original image. White clouds in a scanned photograph may appear yellow on your computer monitor and change to a greenish tint on your printed copy.
This inconsistency occurs because the methods used to reproduce color vary significantly. Monitors and scanners represent colors as a combination of red, green, and blue (RGB), while printers produce color by using various combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Input and output devices are also limited by the range of colors they can produce.
