Get accurate colors from Microsoft Office 2003

Microsoft Office has no color management settings, so the best you can do is to configure the driver
correctly. If you are using the HP-GL/2 and HP RTL driver, click the Properties button and configure the
driver as follows.

In the Paper/Quality tab, set Print Quality to Best.

In the Color tab, ensure that the Print In Grayscale box is unchecked, and set Color Matching
Method
to 'sRGB'.

Get accurate colors from ESRI ArcGIS 9

ArcGIS is a scalable system of software for geographic data creation, management, integration, analysis
and dissemination for every organization, from an individual to a globally distributed network of people.

The application always sends RGB data to the printer driver; you can choose between several different
printer engines. The printer engine determines the format and method used by ArcMap to send the print
job to the printer. There are from one to three options available, depending on license and printer
configurations.

Windows is the default and is always available, regardless of the printer in use. It allows the
application to use the installed HP-GL/2 and HP RTL driver.

PostScript is available only if your printer supports PostScript and the PostScript driver was
selected in the Name section. This allows you to output the file as a Postscript file. This option may
be useful in certain specific cases, but in general it is not recommended.

ArcPress is an extension that can be purchased for printing from ArcGIS. It is a software RIP that
takes the original metafile and rasterizes it before sending it to the printer, so that the printer does
not need to rasterize it. This is beneficial because some printers are not capable of rasterization
or do not have enough memory to process large jobs. Use ArcPress always with HP RTL (RGB)
TrueColor.
