How your software application displays color
Some graphics applications such as Macromedia Freehand or
Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s
online help or user manual for more information.
Paper type
The type of paper used also can affect the printed color significantly.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.
CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD
There is no one correct way to achieve a good color match between
the document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent.
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and
reproducible color.
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color
output from your printer. There are several suggested methods,
depending on the type of document you are printing.
RGB or CMYK?
The guidlines for choosing a color matching method makes
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, Black (CMYK).
NOTE
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may
vary depending on the application from which you are
printing. Some applications will override any color matching
settings in the printer driver without warning.
