For the colors you see on your monitor to match those on your printed output, they must go 
through color management, including precise 

 of your monitor and Color Server. 

If viewing colors on the monitor is critical, consider using a professional profiling software 
package and instrument, such as the EFI Color Profiler, to create a monitor profile. A monitor 
profile enables the application to compensate for the color behavior of the monitor when 
displaying images. As a result, colors previewed on the monitor match the colors more closely 
in your printed output. 

If you are not equipped or inclined to maintain accurate monitor color management, you can 
opt for an easier approach. Determine which is more important to you: printed colors or 
on-screen colors.

• If displayed colors are more important, trust your eyes and your monitor. Visually select 

colors on your monitor, but be aware that colors are optimized only for your monitor. 
When the document is opened on other monitors, the colors may look different. And even 
though printed colors may not match those on your monitor, they still print to the 
Color Server with good results.

• If printed colors are your priority, choose colors from printed samples. By using sample 

colors, you ensure your printed output remains consistent, regardless of how the 
colors appear on different monitors. Print the palette of available colors from business 
applications and select colors from the printed samples. Color reference files are included 
on the User Software CD. (For more information, see

 on page 25.) You can also print color charts from the Color Server and select 

colors by name or number from the printed samples. Advanced applications allow you to 
define colors in the easier-to-control spot and CMYK color spaces. For more information
