4. Color Mode. Set the color mode in the source graphic
application to CMYK. In most cases this will produce the
most accurate color reproduction of the image on screen.
However, if CMYK is not producing the desired color
matching try changing the source image to RGB and then
exporting the image again in one of the universal formats
mentioned above.
Note: Often it is useful to request that your graphic designer provide you
with several different formats for you to try printing. For example you
could request your image in six different formats: A JPG, BMP, and
TIF in RGB color mode and a JPG, BMP and TIF in CMYK color
mode.
5. Media Type Setting. Experiment with the Media Type
setting in the printer preferences (Section 4F) to achieve the
best color matching. There are multiple media type options
which correspond with the various types of label stock sold
by Primera. Match this setting to the media installed in the
printer to achieve the closest color match
to the screen. Each of these settings employs a slightly
different color table developed specifically for the media
type listed.
If the printed output is not matching the color on screen,
regardless of what media you have installed you can adjust
this setting to change the color output.
If you are still not getting the correct color output, the
graphic designer may need to change the color values of
the source graphic to achieve the proper print output.
