Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver

To use driver matching when printing, turn on the printer driver's color correction function. Driver matching

accurately applies the characteristics of data displayed on the monitor and allows you to obtain print results

of impressions that are close to those displayed on the monitor.

Important

• When printing using driver matching, Canon recommends that you set the monitor and the environment

light as follows:

• Monitor

Color temperature: D50 (5000K)

Brightness: 100 to 120cd/m2

Gamma: 2.2

• Environment light

Fluorescent light for D50 color evaluation (color temperature 5000K, high color rendering

properties)

Brightness when looking at printed materials: 500 lx ± 125 lx

Note

• When printing from an application software that can identify ICC profiles and allows you to specify them,

use a printing ICC profile in the application software, and select settings for color management.

The procedure for adjusting colors with the printer driver is as follows:

Open the printer driver setup window

Select advanced settings

From the Main tab pull-down menu, select Advanced Settings.
