Color Matching

Choosing a Color Matching Method

RGB or CMYK?
The guidelines for choosing a color matching method make

distinctions between RGB and CMYK.

RGB = Red, Green, Blue

and

CMYK = Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.

Most documents you print are in RGB format. This is the most

common method. If you do not know your document’s color

mode, assume that it is RGB.
CMYK documents are typically only supported in professional

Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.

Windows and Macintosh 10.2 and 10.3

The driver and Color Swatch Utility supplied with your

printer support only RBG. If you wish to use CMYK, you

might be able to use the software application’s Soft

Proofing feature.
