Scanned Colors Differ from the Original Colors
Make sure the Image Type setting is correct. See Scanning Documents Using Epson Scan or Scanning Documents Using
Document Capture Pro (Windows only) for instructions.
If you are using Epson Scan, make sure to enable the Embed ICC Profile setting. In the File Save Settings window, select JPEG
or TIFF as the Type setting. Click Options, then select the Embed ICC Profile check box. To access the File Save Settings
window, see Selecting File Save Settings Using Epson Scan.
If you are using Document Capture Pro, make sure to enable the Embed ICC Profile setting. In the window that appears after
you select a Destination icon, select JPEG or TIFF as the File Type setting. Click Options, then select the Embed ICC Profile
check box.
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your monitor because printers and monitors use different color systems:
monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
