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
