Color Matching How To NOTE Most applications allow the printer properties to be accessed from within the document print dialog box. Application settings override driver settings. Driver settings override printer menu settings. Color reproduction is a complex topic. This how-to information explains how to perform color matching with your printer. Color Match Precision When the printer performs color matching, it must do many calculations to convert between different color formats (RGB, CMYK, etc). These calculations can take time to process. The [Color Match Precision] option allows you to choose between higher quality color matching (more time consuming) or faster but less accurate color matching. C6000n User's Guide 216
