Step 2: Color Management 10
Digital Photo Print Guide
Color
management
using Host ICM/
ColorSync
Specify the input
profile.
Specify the
printer/paper profile.
This method invokes the color management function of the operating system from the printer driver. The
colors printed will be the same even if you print the same image from different applications. However, there
is a slight difference in print results between operating systems. For this method, the application must support
the respective functions. If you use this function, you must make the required settings in the printer driver, and
set the color management settings in the application to Let Printer Determine Colors.
See “Color management using Host ICM/ColorSync” on page 43.
Color
management
using Driver ICM
(Windows only)
Specify the Input profile.
Specify the
printer/paper profile.
This method is used when the application does not support color management. However, it is only supported
by the Windows operating system. This method uses the color management function of the printer driver. If
you use this function, you must make the required settings in the printer driver, and turn off the color
management settings in the application.
See “Color management using Driver ICM (Windows only)” on page 48.
Note:
❏ Whichever method you use for printing, you must set Media Type and Print Quality separately in the printer
driver. These settings determine the correct amount of ink discharged for each type of paper.
❏ Different applications will handle color management differently and not all applications support color
management.
