Monitor settings

The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor color
temperature 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

How your software application displays color

Some graphics applications such as Macromedia Freehand or
Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s
online help or user manual for more information.

Paper type

The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.

NOTE

Several of the Color Matching options make
reference to your monitor’s Color
Temperature. Many modern monitors allow
the color temperature to be adjusted using the
monitor’s control panel.
