The following Halftone options are available:
●
Detail. This is the default option; it is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions
among lines or colors or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option
for sharp edges and detail.
●
Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth area
fills.
Color Themes
The Color Themes group box contains the following RGB color options, which determines how colors
are rendered:
●
Default (sRGB)
●
Photo (sRGB)
●
Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)
●
None
●
Custom Profile
Default (sRGB)
Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB color
as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Colors are matched to optimize the RGB colors on the screen and to provide vivid images and graphics.
Photo (sRGB)
Select Photo (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap images, such as .GIF
or .EPS files. This setting instructs the product to use the best color matching for rendering sRGB bitmap
images. This setting affects only raster data; it has no effect on text or vector-based graphics. Using
glossy paper in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.
Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)
Select Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB.
For example, some digital cameras capture images in Adobe RBG, and documents that are produced
with Adobe PhotoShop use the Adobe RGB color space. When printing from a professional software
program that uses Adobe RGB, turn off the color management in the software program and allow the
product software to manage the color space.
None
This option allows the printer to accept RGB data directly from the application.
Custom Profile
Select Custom Profile when you want to duplicate the printed output from other products or for using
special effects. This setting instructs the product to use a custom profile to emulate color output from
another product by modifying how color is rendered.
