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.
Many monitors allow you to adjust the color temperature
through their control panels.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
5000k * or D50
Warmest; yellowish lighting.
Typically used in graphics arts environments.
6500k * or D65
Cooler
Approximates daylight conditions.
9300k *
Cool
The default setting for many monitors and television
sets.
*k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature
Macintosh OS 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3
You can calibrate your monitor's color regimen in System
Preferences → Displays → Color.
