    Adjust the Colors by Color Matching
    When you print a color image imported from a scanner or a digital camera, the image may appear different from the
    image on the screen. That is due to the differences in color on the screen and in the printer. In Print Plug-In, you can
    get the color balance of the print product closer to the color balance displayed on the screen through performing ICC (International Color Consortium) color profile settings, matching method settings, and settings for the internal profile,
    which performs optimum color conversion in response to media and resolution settings.

    Select the profile in  Output Profile.
    Note
    •When you place a checkmark in Perform Proof in Preview, you can check the color matching in the preview. Thismay not be displayed depending on how you set Media Type.•The details of Output Profile you have set is saved even when you close the Print Plug-In, but when the specifiedprofile cannot be located it is set to Auto (Color).•If an ICC profile is selected as the Output Profile, Adobe CMM can be selected as the color conversion engine.Refer to Using Adobe CMM→P.497 for details.3
    Select the profile matching method in  Matching Method.

    Click the Print button.
     
    Printing begins with the output profile and matching method that you have set.
