choices are necessary. For printers with a wide range of choices, you will need to
experiment to determine which settings will be most effective for you. Use these
settings when printing profile charts, and continue to use them when printing with the
profiles you create. If you are not thoroughly familiar with your driver settings, it is a
good idea to note the settings, or make screenshots of them, for future reference, so
that you can be consistent in what settings you use.
It is a good idea to experiment with the driver options, and see what results they offer
with the type of papers you intend to print on and the type of files you print, in order
to assure that you obtain the best possible results.
Print Settings in Spyder3Print
Spyder3Print will automatically print your color charts without applying any
unintended color adjustments to them. The only configurations necessary, when
printing directly from Spyder3Print, are the printer driver settings. These driver
settings are very important. Review the driver settings section below to be sure you
are properly configuring them. Please note that driver settings must be set from the
Print command menus, unless they are saved in advance into a driver configuration
set. Always check your driver settings at time of printing, to be sure they have not
defaulted to unintended settings.
To print Spyder3Print color targets from remote printers, it is recommended that you
install Spyder3Print on the computer attached to the printer, and run the application in
Demo mode to check printer settings and print color targets.
Printer Driver Settings
Following the main print window, in Spyder3Print as well as other applications, there
are Printer Driver Settings windows. These vary with different brands and models of
printers. Typically there are resolution and quality related settings that the user must
test to determine appropriate choices. There are also color adjustments settings. For
working with custom ICC printer profiles, it is usually best to set these choices to Off
or None to allow the profile to do the color correction for you, without competition
from any driver color adjustments.
