The Color Looks Different From What You See On; The Computer Screen - Epson Aculaser CX11 User Manual

The color looks different from what you see on

the computer screen

Cause
Printed colors do not exactly
match the colors on your
monitor, since products and
monitors use different color
systems: monitors use RGB
(red, green, and blue), while
products typically use CMYK
(cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black).
For Macintosh, the System
Profile setting is not in use.
PhotoEnhance may be
selected in the printer driver.

Printing Problems
What to do
Although it is difficult to match colors
perfectly, selecting the printer driver's
ICM setting (for Windows XP, Me, 98,
2000, or Server 2003) or ColorSync
setting (for Macintosh) can improve
color matching between different
devices. For details, see "Using the
predefined settings" on page 60 for
Windows, and "Using the predefined
settings" on page 128 for Macintosh.
To apply ColorSync properly, your
input device and the application must
support ColorSync, and a System Profile
must be used for your monitor.
The PhotoEnhance feature corrects the
contrast and brightness of the original
image data, and so may not be suitable
for printing vivid images.
