include technology that adjusts the electrophotographic voltages of the print
cartridges throughout the stages of their life. As the properties of the imaging drum and toner change over time,
adjustments are made for minor fluctuations in sensitivity. These adjustments ensure even, consistent distribution
of toner particles.
Consistent and intelligent color control
The following technologies intelligently control color to deliver reliable and consistent color printing throughout
the product’s life. You can use the print driver to optimize the printing process so that even when printing on
special papers or in adverse environmental conditions you will achieve high-quality results.
Color calibration Color calibration and cleaning results in excellent color uniformity and ensures that print quality will be
consistent over time. It can be performed automatically or on demand.
Color selection options
(sRGB, Vivid, Device)
sRGB (standard red-green-blue), the MFP’s default color table, is optimized to produce the best color
appearance match between a page viewed on a monitor and that same page printed and viewed in a typical
office environment. sRGB is an industry color standard originally developed by HP and Microsoft®, and is
designed to work very well with monitors, input devices, and output devices to produce pleasing, accurate
colors.
You may choose to select the Vivid or Device color tables. The Vivid setting provides an increased saturation of
text and graphics, and the Device setting provides direct access to the entire printing gamut for custom
solutions.
Edge enhancement technology
Edge control is comprised of two components: adaptive halftoning
and trapping. Both of these components affect edges and near-
edges. Adaptive halftoning increases the edge smoothness of text
and graphics while maintaining the quality of area fills. Adaptive
halftoning provides smooth color and accurate, crisp edges by
locating and increasing the digital halftone frequency at edges.
To generate a color image, four color planes must be printed: cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black. Trapping is the deliberate overlapping
of one color to an adjacent color to reduce the effect of color plane
misregistration.
Included in the trapping component is halo reduction. Halo reduction
makes the subordinate colors recede from the edge of the dominant
color. For example, a process black line would be made up of black, the dominant color, and cyan and
magenta, the subordinate colors. The cyan and magenta near the edge of the black line are reduced or
removed. This prevents color from being seen on the edge of the black line.
System-optimization for HP laser papers
For each of the diverse types of paper that the device supports, there is an optimized print mode. When tuned
to the selected paper’s characteristics, the HP Color LaserJet CM1015/CM1017 MFP provides optimal print
quality.
HP color laser papers are the first glossy laser papers designed to work specifically with HP Color LaserJet
MFPs. HP is one of the few manufacturers who can design the device, print cartridges, and paper together to
ensure that each component functions at the highest level.
Note Specialty inkjet coated paper is not designed for the heat of a laser printer. To prevent poor print
quality and damage to the laser printer do not use specialty inkjet coated paper.
