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.
Printer driver color settings
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a
print. There are several options available to help match the printed
colors with those displayed on screen.
Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor's
color temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
> 5000kWarmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphic
art environments.
> 6500kCooler; approximates daylight conditions.
> 9300kCool; the default setting for many monitors and
television sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature.)
How your software application displays color
Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop
may display color differently from "Office" applications such as
Microsoft Word. Please see your application's on-line help or user
manual for more information.
Paper type
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.
