I'm trying to print a Draw document, but the colors printed by my printer are not the same ones displayed on the screen. How can I edit them using the CMYK color system?
The modern color printers use a % mix of 4 inks (or 6 in the newest ones) to reproduce the colors that are visible to us. In Draw, to edit a color using the exact percentage of an ink you have to:
- Click on the object whose color you want to change. It will be selected.
- Right click it and choose Area from the context menu.
- In the pop-up window that appears, flip to the Colors tab.
- Select CMYK from the Color System combo box.
- Modify the CMYK % values in the boxes below.
- Click the OK button. You will be prompted as to whether you want to modify the existing color or to add a new one to the palette. Make your choice.
Otherwise, you can use/modify a ready CMYK palette:
- Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 listed above.
- Click the Load Color List icon.
- Select the cmyk.soc file and press the Open button. (standard path: OpenOffice/4/user/config/)
- Close the window by clicking the OK button.
