CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD

There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the
document displayed on your monitor, and it's printed equivalent.
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and
reproducible colour.
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good colour
output from your printer. There are several suggested methods,
depending on the type of document you are printing.
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may vary
depending on the application from which you are printing. Some
applications will override any colour matching settings in the printer
driver without warning.

RGB OR CMYK?

The guidelines for choosing a colour matching method makes
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, Black (CMYK).
Generally, most documents you print will be in RGB format. This is the
most common, and, if you do not know your document's colour mode,
assume that it is RGB.
Typically CMYK documents are only supported in professional
Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.
