Color options (available for the
hp color LaserJet 3700 series printer)
Color options automatically enable optimal color output for diverse types of documents.
Color options use object tagging, which allows optimal color and halftone settings to be used for
different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which
objects are used on a page and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print quality
for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized default settings, produces great color out
of the box.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the
printer driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a world-wide color standard originally developed by HP and
Microsoft as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras),
and output devices (printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products,
Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software sold today. The sRGB
standard is representative of the typical Windows PC monitor today and the convergence standard
for high-definition television.
Note Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room’s lighting can affect the appearance of
colors on your screen. For more information, see Matching colors.
The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop
®
, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and many other
applications use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in
Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a means to exchange color
information between applications and devices using a common definition that ensures typical
users will experience greatly improved color matching. The sRGB standard improves your ability to
match colors between the printer, the PC monitor, and other input devices (scanners and digital
cameras) automatically, without the need to become a color expert.
Printing in four-colors [CMYK (available for the
hp color LaserJet 3700 series printer)
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) are the inks used by a printing press. The process is
often called four-color printing. CMYK data files are typically used by and originate from graphic
arts (printing and publishing) environments. The printer will accept CMYK colors through the PS
printer driver. The printer color-rendering of CMYK is designed to provide rich, saturated colors for
text and graphics.
