Viewing conditions

A document can look very different under various lighting
conditions. For example, the colors 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 document. There are several options available to help match the
printed colors with those displayed on screen. These options are
explained in subsequent sections of this User Manual.

Monitor settings

The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor
color temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to
your monitor's Color Temperature. Many modern monitors
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the
monitor's control panel.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
• 5000k*
Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphics arts
environments.
• 6500k
Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
• 9300k
Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television sets.
*k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature
