							Printing Images to Match Monitor Colors
Adjusting the colors printed so that they more closely match the colors displayed on the monitor is called "monitor match-
ing." Using this mode requires adjustment or configuration of the settings of your monitor, the source application, the file
for printing, and the printer driver.Important• Monitor matching may not be applied, or these settings may not be configurable or adjustable, depending on
your monitor and the source application.Note• Printing in exactly the same colors as displayed on the monitor may not be possible due to differences in the
monitor and printer color gamuts.
• Calibrating your monitor requires a measuring device.
• Because colors appear different under sunlight at different times of day, we recommend following this proce-
dure in a room not exposed to sunlight.

							Monitor MatchingThe sequence in monitor matching is as follows.
1. Calibrate the printer.
Calibration  improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears due to individu-
al variation among printheads or conditions in various printing environments.
 (See " Using Color Calibration for Color Adjustment .")
→P.854
2. Calibrate the monitor.
Normally, you can use a colorimeter such as the  i1-Display.
Set the  white point  to 6500 K  or 5000 K , the gamma  to 2.2, and the  brightness  to 120 cd , and activate light source
measurement.
The exact procedure varies depending on your monitor and measurement device.
3. Open the file to print and configure settings in the source application.
Display the file in the sRGB or Adobe RGB color space.
Configure settings to prevent color conversion by the application.
In Photoshop CS3, for example, select  Color Management in the Print dialog box, and then select  No Color Man-
agement  in Color Handling .
4. Configure and adjust printer driver settings.
Select  Monitor  Matching   in Matching  Method .  Specify  the Monitor  White  Point  set  during  monitor  calibration
and the  Color Temperature  and Illuminance  measured in the ambient light.
In  Color Space , select the color space used when displaying the file in the source application.
If you own an  i1-Pro, using Light Source Measure Tool enables more precision measurement of the ambient light.
Note•If you will print repeatedly using the settings values you set this one time, we recommend completing
the  settings  by  accessing  the  printer  driver  dialog  box  from  the  operating  system  menu.  (See  " Ac-
cessing the Printer Driver Dialog Box from the Operating System Menu (Windows)
→P.207 ")
For instructions on configuring printer driver settings for monitor matching, refer to the following topic, as appropriate for
your computer and operating system.
