The guidelines for choosing a color matching method make distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK). Generally, most documents you print are in RGB format. This is the most common, and, if you do not know your document’s color mode, assume that it is RGB.

    Factors that Affect Color Printing The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several controls for changing the color output. For general use the default driver settings produce good results for most documents. Many applications have their own color settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver.

The guidelines for choosing a color matching method make distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK). Generally, most documents you print are in RGB format.
