How Your Software Application Displays Color
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW
®
or Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft
®
Word. Please see your
application’s on-line help or user manual for more information.
Print Media
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed
color. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller
than one on specially formulated glossy paper.
NOTE
Several of the Color Matching options make
reference to your monitor’s Color Temperature.
Many modern monitors allow the color
temperature to be adjusted using the monitor’s
control panel.
