Factors that Affect Color Printing
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 monitors allow
you to adjust the color temperature through their
control panels.
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
