How do I get accurate colors from Autodesk AutoCAD
2002?

AutoCAD 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 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'.

How do I 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 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.
