OptimalPhotoPrintingofImageDataWhen people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differfrom those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor. To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose. ColorManagement Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently. Color management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors" as a common color space. For Windows, a color management system called "ICM" is built into the operating system. sRGB is one of the common color spaces that is frequently used. ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an ICC profile andcarrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the image data within the color reproduction area that the printer can express. SelectingaPrintingMethodSuitedtotheImageData The recommended printing method depends on the color space (sRGB) of the image data or the application software to be used. There are two typical printing methods. Check the color space (sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used, and then select the printing method suited to your purpose. AdjustingColorswiththePrinterDriver Describes the procedure for printing sRGB data by using the color correction function of the printer driver.

PrintingwithICCProfilesWhen the image data has a specified input ICC profile, you can print by using the color space (sRGB) of the data effectively.

AdjustingColorBalanceYou can adjust the color tints when printing. Since this function adjusts color balance of the output by changing the ink ratios of each color, it changes the total color balance of the document. Use the application software when you want to change the color balance significantly. Use the printer driver only when you want to adjust the color balance slightly. The following sample shows the case when color balance is used to intensify cyan and to diminish yellow so that the overall colors are more uniform.No adjustmentAdjust color balance The procedure for adjusting color balance is as follows: You can also set color balance on the QuickSetup tab by choosing PhotoPrinting under Commonly UsedSettings , and then choosing Color/IntensityManualAdjustment under AdditionalFeatures . 1.
