Color Matching

Factors that Affect Color Printing

Printer Driver Settings

The color settings in your printer driver can change the

appearance of a document.

There are several options available to help match the

printed colors with those displayed on screen.

See “How To” on page 180.

For Windows

The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide

several controls for changing the color output.

The default driver settings produce good results for most

documents.

For Macintosh

The install utility provides

• a color matching profile for your printer

and

•a Color Option utility in the print driver.

The Auto settings produce good results for most

documents.

See “Auto Color” on page 181.
