    Adjust illustrator to print from ricoh exact colour

    Hi guys need help here.
    Wat to adjust to match printing colour from ricoh like afmpc6003 for Adobe illustrator printing graphical image? Because the colour always turns out not matched as being shown on monitor. For windows and macintosh computers.

    Monitors use light emission RGB (Red, Green, Blue) whereas laser printing use pigments that reflect and/or absorb light, CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK).

    That said, I believe Illustrator can make use of the ICM files, available on the C6003 driver page.

    Otherwise the other option is to use PostScript.

      What’s the difference between CMYK and RGB? – The Graphic Mac

      I can't explain is as well as these folks do. The short version, is that every monitor can produce many more colors then every laser based printer. The color profile files that slim refers to limits the monitor to show only colors that you can print. It does not change the printers output.

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
