# Specifying Color Correction

You can specify the color correction method suited to the type of document to be printed.
Normally, the printer driver adjusts the colors by using Canon Digital Photo Color so that data is printed with color tints that most people prefer. This method is suitable for printing sRGB data.

If you want to print by using the color space of sRGB or Adobe RGB data effectively, select ICM. If you want to use an application software to specify an ICC profile, select None.

The procedure for specifying color correction is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Select the manual color adjustment

   On the Main tab, select Manual for Color/Intensity, and click Set....

   The Manual Color Adjustment dialog box opens.

3. Select color correction

   Click Matching tab, select Color Correction setting suited to your purpose from the following, and click OK.

   Driver Matching

     By using Canon Digital Photo Color, you can print sRGB data with color tints that most people prefer.
     Driver Matching is the default setting for Color Correction.

   ICM

     You can print by using the color space of sRGB or Adobe RGB data effectively.

   None

     The printer driver does not perform color adjustment. Select this value if you are specifying an individually created profile or a profile for special Canon paper in an application software to print data.

4. Complete the setup

   Click OK on the Main tab.
   When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified color adjustment method.

Important

- If ICM is disabled in the application software, ICM is unavailable for Color Correction and the printer may not be able to print the image data properly.

- When the Grayscale Printing check box on the Main tab is checked, Color Correction appears grayed out and is unavailable.
