Using ColorSync on the Macintosh

Every device you use for producing or viewing colors—your
monitor, scanner, and printer—employs a different color
technology. That’s why it’s difficult to get printed colors to
match the colors displayed on your monitor or other device.
The Macintosh ColorSync system helps you control all your
devices so their colors match your printer’s as closely as possible.

ColorSync uses profile information from each device—
including your EPSON Stylus COLOR 850 printer—to
achieve accurate color matching. First you have to make sure
your monitor’s profile is set. Then you can use your printer
software to specify the exact method of color matching you
want to use.

Note:
When you choose
PhotoEnhance,
PhotoEnhance2, ICM,
ColorSync, or No Color
Adjustment all the other
color options are preset.
