Other useful settingsMonitor MatchingThe sequence in monitor matching is as follows.1. Calibrate the printer.Calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how colorappears due to individual variation among printheads or conditions in various printingenvironments.(→P.588)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, andactivate light source measurement.The exact procedure varies depending on your monitor and measurement device.3. Open the le to print and congure settings in the source application.Display the le in the sRGB or Adobe RGB color space.Congure settings to prevent color conversion by the application.In Photoshop CS3, for example, select Color Management in the Print dialog box, and thenselect No Color Management in Color Handling.4. Congure and adjust printer driver settings.Select Monitor Matching in Matching Method. Specify the Monitor White Point set duringmonitor calibration and the Color Temperature and Illuminance measured in the ambient light.In Color Space, select the color space used when displaying the le in the source application.If you own an i1-Pro, using Light Source Measure Tool enables more precision measurementof the ambient light.Note• If you will print repeatedly using the settings values you set this one time, we recommend completingthe settings by accessing the printer driver dialog box from the operating system menu.
