Basics

There are three methods by which your document’s color can be managed and adjusted:

1.Application Color Management (1).

Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Quark Xpress have their own built-in color management systems.

Most applications do not have these color management features and rely instead on the printer or operating system.

2.Operating System Color Management (2).

Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP have Windows ICM color Management.

Mac OS and Mac OS X have Apple ColorSync.

3.Printer Color Management (3).

When you print your document and modify settings in the printer driver, the printer performs color adjustments.

Important!

Only use one color management system if you want the best results from your printer.

If you wish to use your printer’s color management system, ensure that your application or operating system color management is switched off.

Applying color management in multiple places will give unpredictable results.
