SUMMARY
When you print from a program using colored fonts or non-bitmap graphics to a color printer, the printed color may not match the color displayed on the screen. Bitmap graphics printed from the same program are printed properly.

MORE INFORMATION
The Windows 95 printing subsystem can use Image Color Matching to match colors from the screen to printer output for bitmap graphics. It cannot do the same for text or non-bitmap graphics unless the program has built-in Image Color Matching support. This behavior occurs even if the Print TrueType Fonts As Graphics or Use TrueType Fonts As Softfonts options are enabled, because of the printing Application Programming Interface (API) calls made to print the document.

Programs that have built-in Image Color Matching capabilities can provide the correct printed color output for all colors on a page including text and non-bitmap graphics.
