Color printing (basics) > 24
An example of using the color swatch function:
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you would follow are:
1. Print a color swatch, then select the shade of red that best suits your needs.
2. Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that you liked.
3. Using your program’s color picker, enter these same RGB values, and change the
logo to that color.
The RGB color displayed on your monitor may not necessarily match what was printed on
the color swatch. If this is the case, it is probably due to the difference between how your
monitor and printer reproduce color. Here, it is unimportant since your primary objective
is to print the required color.

The Color Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver CD/DVD-ROM. You must install
it separately since it is not installed along with the printer driver.
The Color Correct utility has the following features:
> Microsoft Office palette colors can be individually adjusted. This is useful if you want
to change how a specific color is printed.
> Colors can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and Gamma. This is useful if

Once these color adjustments have been made, the new settings can be selected from the
printer driver Color tab.
