Software settings
Many software applications have their own colour settings.
The application settings may override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the
documentation for your software application for details on that particular program's colour
management functions.
How the application displays colour
® ® ®
Some graphics applications such as Adobe Photoshop , or Macromedia Freehand may
®
display colour differently from "office" applications such as Microsoft Word.
Please see your application's online help or user manual for more information.
Printer driver settings
The colour settings in your printer driver can change the appearance of a document. The
default driver settings produce good results for most documents.
There are several options available to help match the printed colours with those displayed
on screen. (See "How to perform colour matching" on page 19.)
Lighting (Viewing) conditions
A document can look very different under various lighting conditions.
For example, the colours 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 colour.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one on specially formulated
glossy paper.
