COLOUR PRINTING
The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several 
controls for changing the colour output. For general use the 
automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default 
settings that will produce good results for most documents.
Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may 
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the 
documentation for your software application for details on how 
that particular program’s colour management functions.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRINTS
If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer 
driver, please be aware that colour reproduction is a complex 
topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration. 
Some of the most important factors are listed below.
Differences between the range of colours
a monitor or printer can reproduce
> Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing 
the full range of colours visible to the human eye. Each 
device is restricted to a certain range of colours. In 
addition to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the 
colours displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.
> Both devices use very different technologies to represent 
colour. A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) 
phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta, 
Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.
> A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense 
reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on 
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain 
colours, (some yellows for exam ple), that can be printed, 
but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This 
disparity between monitors and printers is often the main 
reason that printed colours do not match the colours 
displayed on screen.

Viewing conditions 
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. 
For example, the colours in a  print may look different when 
viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they 
look under standard office fluorescent lighting.
Printer driver  colour settings
The driver settings for Manual colour can change the appearance 
of a print. There are several opti ons available to help match the 
printed colours with those displayed on screen.
Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change 
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s 
colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours 
look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
>5000k Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in 
graphic art environments.
> 6500k Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
> 9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors 
and television sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature.)
How your software applic ation displays colour 
Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe 
Photoshop may display colour differently from “Office” 
applications such as Microsoft Wo rd. Please see your application’s 
on-line help or user manual for more information.
Paper type 
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed 
colour. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller 
than one on specially formulated high-quality paper.

TIPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR
The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour 
output from your printer.
PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES
Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting. 
If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or 
Digital Camera settings.
PRINTING FROM MICROSOFT OFFICE APPLICATIONS
Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having 
problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft 
Excel or Microsoft Powerpoint.
PRINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS (E.G. A COMPANY LOGO)
There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help 
match specific colours:
Colour Correct Utility 
Colour Swatch Utility 
ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT
If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control 
to adjust it. 
If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the 
Saturation control.
