Windows ICM Color Matching

PCL or PostScript

• ICM is the color management system built into Windows.
• Affects RGB data only.
• Can be associated with either the PCL or PS driver
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer. These
profiles describe the colors that your device is capable of
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via
the Color Management
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the color
profiles may already be associated with the driver.
To associate ICC Color Profiles with the printer driver:
1. Click Start
2. Highlight the printer name. Click File, then Properties.
3. Click the
4. Under "Color Profiles currently associated with this
printer", you should see the names of profiles that match your
printer model. If you do not see any profiles associated with the
driver, click "Add..." and locate the ICC profiles for your printer.
Windows ICM uses the information in these profiles to convert
colors in your documents to colors that the printer can reproduce.
The way in which this conversion is performed can be controlled via
the ICM Intent control in the printer driver.
The Color Match "Using ICC Profiles" feature provides an
alternative to Windows ICM. It is similar to Windows
ICM, but offers several additional features.
