Using ColorSync on the Macintosh

Every device you use for producing or viewing colors—your monitor,
scanner, and printer—employs a different color technology. The
Macintosh ColorSync system helps you control all your devices so their
colors match your printer's as closely as possible.
ColorSync uses profile information from each device—including your
EPSON Stylus COLOR 900 printer—to achieve accurate color matching.
First you have to make sure your monitor's profile is set. Then you can
use your printer software to specify the exact method of color matching
you want to use.
Follow these steps to set your monitor's ColorSync profile and use your
printer software's ColorSync features:
1 Open the ColorSync System Profile under Control Panels on the
Apple menu.
2 Click the Set Profile button.
3 Select your monitor from the list, and then click Select.
4 Close ColorSync System Profile.
5 Open an application and select a document to print.
6 Open the File menu and click Print.
7 Click Custom, then click Advanced.
8 On the Advanced dialog box, click the ColorSync button.
9 For Profile, choose EPSON Standard. This is the ColorSync profile
created especially for your printer. Don't choose any other printer
profile you may have on your system.
