Colour printing> 59 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. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Colour printing> 60 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 glossy paper. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
