When to use it
Tip
Do not use this mode if you
are also using ICC profiles and
your software program to manage
color. This can decrease the color
fidelity since the colors are
converted twice—first by the
software program and then by the
printer.
Application Managed Colors
Application-based color management lets
the image editing software program
convert from the image color space to the
printer ink colors. The conversion takes
place in the image editing software
program. In this mode, the printer does not
do any color management.
Using application-based color
management involves changing settings
both in the printer driver and in your
software programs, and requires ICC
profiles for all your devices. For more
