Simulating display screen colors

The Simulate Display option makes printed colors approximate the colors on
a standard display screen. This selection should improve the
screen-to-printer color accuracy for most applications that don’t perform
their own color corrections. This selection is best for applications that define
colors as RGB (red, green, blue), HLS (hue, lightness, saturation), or HSB
(hue, saturation, brightness).

Closely match printing press colors

There are three printing press color correction options. Each press option
conforms to a different printing standard. Use a press option if you are
previewing work for a four-color job to be printed on a printing press. These
options simulate a four-color commercial printing press, not solid spot
colors, such as PANTONE Colors.

Note

If you are selecting PANTONE Colors in your application, use
the None option; see page 4-6 for details. Also, use the
None
option with other color management systems, such as EfiColor.
