Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and software.
Some computers can change the palette of colors on your screen. See your software and hardware manuals for
details.
Use the color management system for your computer: ICM for Windows, or ColorSync for Mac OS X. Add a color
profile that matches your monitor to improve on-screen color matching. Exact color matching is very difficult.
Check your software and monitor documentation for information on color matching and calibration.
Note:
In the Home Mode, when Illustration, Magazine, Newspaper, Text/Line Art is selected for the
document type, Epson sRGB is embedded even if other ICM/ColorSync setting is selected.
In the Office Mode, Epson sRGB is embedded even if other ICM/ColorSync setting is selected.
In the Professional Mode, when Document is selected for the Auto Exposure type, Epson sRGB
is embedded even if other ICM/ColorSync setting is selected.
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your monitor because printers and monitors use different
color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black).
