Factors that Affect Color Printing

Lighting (Viewing) Conditions

A document can look very different under various lighting conditions.

For example, the colors may look different when viewed standing next to a sunlit window compared to how they look under standard office fluorescent lighting.

Paper Type

The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.

For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one on specially formulated glossy paper.
