Macintosh OS 10.3 Color Print Matching The install utility provides a color matching profile for your printer. In general, using these Color Matching settings will provide reasonable default settings that 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 to find details on how that particular program's color management functions. Factors That Affect the Appearance of Printed Documents • Monitors Versus Printers • Viewing Conditions • Printer Driver Color Settings • Monitor Settings • How Your Software Application Displays Color • Print Media 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. Monitors Versus Printers • Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full range of colors visible to the human eye. - Each device is restricted to a certain range of colors. - A printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor, and vice versa. • Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. - A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs). - A printer uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.
