printer uses Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black (CMYK) toner or ink. • A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows, for example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is often the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors displayed on screen. Viewing conditions A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under standard office fluorescent lighting. Monitor Color Profile Select Apple provides a ColorSync Utility - Devices that allows selection of the OKI supplied ICC color profile for your monitor. The profile will attempt to calibrate the monitor to more closely match the printer's output. However, merely selecting the profile will not automatically produce perfect results as many factors will contribute to the gamut of color selection. 1. Navigate to the utility by accessing your Local Hard Drive - Applications - Utilities - ColorSync Utility. 118 > Macintosh OS 10.1.5 Operation
