REGARDING OUTPUT COLOR SPACE SETTINGS AVAILABLE

sRGB
This is the color spacing standard promoted by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. Because sRGB
reflects the quality of average PC monitors, this standard is well suited for handling images that
are to be displayed on the Web. However, because of it's limited color scale, it is not suitable
for professional prepress usage. sRGB is widely used around the world, and is considered to
be the color spacing standard for multi-media and Internet usage.
Apple RGB
This Apple based color spacing has been available since the Apple 13 model. It is used as a
standard default setting for software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop Ver. 4 and
higher, etc. Because this color spacing standard is widely used in the world of Desktop

affords a wider color scale than sRGB, it is commonly employed when a printed product is the
intended objective.
