The color looks different from what you see on

Cause

What to do

Printed colors do not exactly
match the colors on your
monitor, since printers and
monitors use different color
systems: monitors use RGB
(red, green, and blue), while
printers typically use CMYK
(cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black).

Although it is difficult to match colors
perfectly, selecting the printer driver’s
ICM setting (for Windows XP, Me, 98,
95, 2000, or Server 2003) or ColorSync
setting (for Macintosh) can improve
color matching between different
devices. For details, see “Using the
predefined settings” on page 50
for
Windows, and “Using the predefined
settings” on page 96
for Macintosh.

For Macintosh, the System
Profile setting is not in use.

To apply ColorSync properly, your
input device and the application must
support ColorSync, and a System
Profile must be used for your monitor.

PhotoEnhance4 may be
selected in the printer driver.

The PhotoEnhance 4 feature corrects the
contrast and brightness of the original
image data, and so may not be suitable
for printing vivid images.
