Factors that Affect Color Printing

Monitor Settings

The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can

change how your document looks on-screen.
Your monitor color temperature also influences how "warm" or

"cool" the colors look.

There are several settings found on a typical monitor:

5000k * or D50

Warmest; yellowish lighting.
Typically used in graphics arts environments.

6500k * or D65

Cooler
Approximates daylight conditions.

9300k *

Cool
The default setting for many monitors and television

sets.

*k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature

Macintosh OS 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3

You can calibrate your monitor’s color regimen in System

Preferences → Displays → Color.

NOTE

Several of the Color Matching options make reference

to your monitor’s Color Temperature.
Many monitors allow you to adjust the color

temperature through their control panels.
