Factors that Affect Color Printing
The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several controls for changing the color output. For general use the default driver settings produce good results for most documents.
Many applications have their own color settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the documentation for your software application for details on how that particular program’s color management functions.
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver, please be aware that color reproduction is a complex topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration.
Some of the most important factors are
•the differences between the range of colors a monitor can reproduce versus the range of colors that a printer can reproduce
•viewing conditions
•printer driver color settings
•monitor settings
•how your software application displays color
•paper type
