Using ColorSync on the Macintosh
Every device you use for viewing or producing colors—your
monitor, scanner, and printer—uses a different color
technology. That’s why it’s difficult to get printed colors to
match the colors displayed on your monitor.
Each device has its own gamut, or range of colors, that it can
reproduce. The Macintosh ColorSync system translates colors
from one gamut to another so your monitor’s colors match your
printer’s colors as closely as possible.
ColorSync uses profile information from each device—
including your
EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520—to achieve
accurate color matching. First you set your monitor’s profile.
Then you can use your printer software to specify the exact
method of “gamut mapping” (color matching) you want to use.
Follow these steps:
1. Open
ColorSync System Profile under Control Panels
on the Apple menu.
2. Click the
Set Profile button.
3. Select your monitor from the list, and then click
Select.
