Using Color Management
The printer driver provides a setting for performing color 
management to printing data and a color adjustment that 
produces better looking prints by using only the printer driver. 
Color adjustment is performed without adjusting the color of the 
original data. See “Methods for color management” on page 64 
for detailed information.

Color management
About color management system (CMS)
Since devices such as a digital camera, scanner, monitor, or printer 
produce color differently, the printing result looks different from 
the image you see on the display. To adjust the color between 
devices, use the color management system. Both Windows and 
Mac OS X have a color management system as their standard 
feature. Also, some image editing software support the color 
management system.
Each operating system supports the color management system, 
such as ICM for Windows and ColorSync for Mac OS. When 
performing color management using the printer driver, the color 
management system of the operating system is also used. In this 
color management system, a color definition file called the ICC 
profile is used for performing color matching between devices. 
The ICC profile is prepared for each printer model and each media 
type. For a digital camera, the color domain of sRGB, AdobeRGB, 
etc., may be specified as the profile.
In color management, the profile of an input device is called an 
input profile (or source profile), and an output device, such as a 
printer, is called a printer profile (or output profile).

Note:
When you print an image taken by a digital camera or scanner, usually 
the printing result looks different from what you see on the display. This 
variance occurs because each device such as a digital camera, scanner, 
monitor, or printer, produces colors differently. In order to reduce the 
differences in color between each device, please perform color 
management between each device. 
Methods for color management
Color management by printer driver

management 
by Driver ICM
(Windows only)
Specify the Input 
profile.
Specify the printer 
profile.
Color management is performed by specifying the input profile and the printer profile 
by the printer driver. Color management can be performed even if you print data 
from an application that does not support ICM color management. If an application 
supports a color management function, turn it off for printing. 
See “Color management by Driver ICM (Windows only)” on page 66.

You need to perform color matching with the printer driver before printing. An 
application needs to support ICM or ColorSync color management. Since it prints 
using the color management function of operating systems, a difference may 
appear in a printing color between Windows and Mac OS X. 
See “Color management by Host ICM or ColorSync” on page 70.

Specify the 
printer 
profile.
The color management is performed by specifying the input profile and the printer 
profile by the application. You can select this method when an application supports 
its own color management function. Color compensation should be turned off (no 
color adjustment) in the printer driver. Since neither ColorSync of Mac OS nor ICM of 
Windows is used as a color management system, a difference may not appear in a 
printing result between operating systems.
