• A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and
blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows, for
example), 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 colors do not match the colors
displayed on screen.
Viewing conditions
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For
example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under
standard office fluorescent lighting.
ICC Color Profile Select
Apple provides a ColorSync Utility — Devices that allows selection
of the OKI supplied ICC color profile for your monitor. The profile will
attempt to calibrate the monitor to more closely match the printer’s
output. However, merely selecting the profile will not automatically
produce perfect results as many factors will contribute to the gamut
of color selection.
