Color Matching means managing and adjusting documents color to keep it consistent between input and output devices.
This section describes the Color Matching function on the printer driver.
-
Automatic:
Color matching is applied according to the document. Normally, use this setting as a default setting.
-
Office Color:
Use this setting when printing business document using word processing software, spreadsheet software, and presentation software. Color matching is applied when RGB color space print data is converted to CMYK color space for the printer.
-
Graphic Pro:
This function is suitable for using the DTP software. You can specify the simulation of printing with the CMYK output devices.
-
No Color Matching:
This function is suitable for colors to be matched with an application.
If you use Mac, you can also use [ColorSync] function to do color matching.
