Note
•
Printing in exactly the same colors as displayed on the monitor may not be possible due to differences in the monitor and
printer color gamuts.
•
Calibrating your monitor requires a measuring device.
•
Because colors appear different under sunlight at different times of day, we recommend following this procedure in a room not
exposed to sunlight.
•
Monitor Matching
The sequence in monitor matching is as follows.
1
Calibrate the printer.
Calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears due to indi-
vidual variation among printheads or conditions in various printing environments.
(See "Corrects slight differences in how colors appear (color calibration).")
→P.820
2
Calibrate the monitor.
i1-Display and similar measurement devices are commonly used.
Set
white point
to
6500K
or
5000K
,
Gamma
to
2.2
, and
brightness
to
120 cd
.
The exact procedure varies depending on your monitor and measurement device.
3
Open the file to print and configure settings in the source application.
Display the file in the sRGB or Adobe RGB color space.
Configure settings to prevent color conversion by the application.
In Photoshop CS3, for example, select
Color Management
in the
dialog box, and then select
No Color
Management
in
Color Handling
.
4
Configure and adjust printer driver settings.
Select
Monitor Matching
using the
Matching Method
, and then select the
Monitor White Point
that you set
up in monitor calibration.
In
Color Space
, select the color space used when displaying the file in the source application.
Note
•
To print multiple times using the same value, we recommend opening the Printer Driver dialog box from the System
menu and configuring the appropriate settings.
(See "Accessing the Printer Driver Dialog Box from the Operating Sys-
tem Menu (Windows).")
