Color management from the
application (no color management)
This method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application’s color
management system. This method is used when you
want to obtain the same color management results
using a common application among different
operating system environments.

Color Management)” on page 38
Color management from the printer
driver
The printer driver uses the operating system’s color
management system and carries out all color
management processes. This is used when you want to
produce similar print results from different
applications under the same operating systems.
However, to do this, you also need an application that
supports color management.
