Using ColorSync on the Macintosh

Every device you use for viewing or producing colors—your
monitor, scanner, and printer—uses a different color
technology. That's why it's difficult to get printed colors to
match the colors displayed on your monitor.
Each device has its own gamut, or range of colors, that it can
reproduce. The Macintosh ColorSync system translates colors
from one gamut to another so your monitor's colors match your
printer's colors as closely as possible.
