Using Color Management
You can perform color management by the printer driver in the following three ways.
❏ Color management by Driver ICM (Windows only)
You can perform color management by using the printer driver only. It is useful when you use
an application that does not support this function. It prints using the color management
function of the operating system.
❏ Color management by Host ICM/ ColorSync
An application needs to support a color management system. Since it prints using the color
management function of the operating system, you can obtain the prints by the same color
management system even when performing the function using different applications.
However, the printed colors may differ depending on the version of the operating system.
❏ Color management by application
An application needs to support a color management system. Since it prints using the color
management function of an application in common, you can obtain the print results by using
the same color management system even when performing the function with a different
operation system.
Setting profiles
Setting for an input profile, printer profile, and intent vary depending on each color management
system. This is because the usage of color management is different between the engines.
