Driver settings override printer menu settings. Color reproduction is a complex topic. This background information explains the factors that affect color matching.
Page 202: Factors That Affect Color Printing
There are many factors that affect color printing. Some of the most important factors are: • the differences between the range of colors a monitor can reproduce versus the range of colors that a printer can reproduce. See page 203. • monitor settings. See page 204.
Page 203 Differences between the range of colors a monitor or printer can reproduce Neither a printer nor a monitor can reproduce the full range of colors seen by the human eye. Each device is limited to a certain range of colors.
Page 204: Monitor Settings
Factors that Affect Color Printing Monitor Settings The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change how your document looks on-screen. Your monitor color temperature also influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look. Several of the Color Matching options make reference to your monitor’s Color Temperature.
Page 205: Software Settings
Software Settings Many software applications have their own color settings. The application settings may override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the documentation for your software application for details on how that particular program’s color management functions.
Page 206: Printer Driver Settings
Factors that Affect Color Printing Printer Driver Settings The color settings in your printer driver can change the appearance of a document. There are several options available to help match the printed colors with those displayed on screen. See “How To” on page 216.
Page 207: Paper Type
Factors that Affect Color Printing Lighting (Viewing) Conditions A document can look very different under various lighting conditions. For example, the colors may look different when viewed standing next to a sunlit window compared to how they look under standard office fluorescent lighting. Paper Type The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
Page 208: Choosing A Color Matching Method
Your results may vary depending on the application from which you are printing. Some applications override, without warning, any color matching settings in the printer driver. There is no one way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent.
Page 209: Rgb Or Cmyk
The CMYK color model is based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black printer inks or toners. Most documents you print are in RGB format. This is the most common method. If you do not know your document’s color mode, assume that it is RGB.

Page 215 Hue, Brightness, and Saturation There are three main components to color: Hue, Brightness, and Saturation. The component that determines the frequency of light or the position in the spectrum or the relative amounts of red, green and blue. Hue corresponds to the common definition of color, e.g.
Page 216: Color Match Precision
This how-to information explains how to perform color matching with your printer. Color Match Precision When the printer performs color matching, it must do many calculations to convert between different color formats (RGB, CMYK, etc). These calculations can take time to process.
