Printing and Exporting Figures with MATLAB

Creating CMYK Output

By default, MATLAB produces color output in the RGB color space (red, green, blue). If you plan to publish MATLAB figures using four-color separations, you may want to use the CMYK color space (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).

Using the Printing Options Dialog Box (UNIX only)

1. Select Print from the figure window's File menu.
2. Click Options. This invokes the Printing Options dialog box.
3. Select Use CMYK colors in PS and Ghostscript drivers instead of RGB.
4. Click OK.

Using the print Command

Use the -cmyk option with the print command. This example prints the current figure in CMYK using a PostScript Level II color printer driver.

• print -dpsc2 -cmyk
