CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD
There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the
document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent.
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and
reproducible colour.
The following guidelines may help in achieving good colour output
from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending
on the type of document you are printing.
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may vary
depending on the application from which you are printing. Some
applications will override any colour matching settings in the printer
driver without warning.
ACCESSING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS
The Colour Matching options in the printer driver can be used to help
match your printed colours to the ones displayed on your monitor or
from some other source, such as a digital camera.

(called “Printers and Faxes” in
Windows XP).
2. Right-click the printer name
and choose
Properties.
3. Click the Printing Preferences
button (1).
