Choosing A Color Matching Method - Oki LPR C7500 User Manual

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD

There is no one 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 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.
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.
RGB or CMYK?
The guidelines for choosing a color 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 color
mode, assume that it is RGB.
Typically CMYK documents are only supported in professional
Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.
