Typically, applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, use CMYK color mode. If you are using this color mode with your Phaser printer, then the target profile used should be a CMYK target profile.

Phaser 7700 Printer
PhaserMatch adds new color corrections to the printer driver when it is used with a Phaser 7700 printer. The application updates the driver files to make the new TekColor custom color corrections available in the driver on the computer where PhaserMatch is installed. There is no method provided within PhaserMatch to update the drivers on remote computers so PhaserMatch should be installed on each computer that is going to be using the new color corrections. You can print CMYK color images from your driver using the new color corrections. You must have color management turned off in your application when using TekColor corrections. A printer setup wizard should have helped you create a printer driver. Only this printer driver contains the TekColor tab that allows you to select the link profiles you create using PhaserMatch.

Introduction to Color Management
Color management is based on color spaces. The range of colors, or gamut, perceived by the human eye, captured on film, displayed on a computer monitor, and rendered by a printer vary significantly. Each has its own color space, a mathematical means of describing its colors. [. . . ]
