General
Use the General setting group to control the Edge Control, Halftone, and RGB Color settings for all
color printing.
Edge Control
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered by adjusting three components: Adaptive Halftoning,
Trapping, and C-REt. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect
of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. C-REt increases the
apparent resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges.
The Edge Control option offers the following settings:
●
Off turns off Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt.
●
Normal provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning and C-REt are both set to On.
●
Maximum provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning and C-REt are both set to On.
Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded
in the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series firmware. The Smooth and Detail options affect the resolution
and clarity of your color output.
●
Smooth. Select this option for uniform and smooth area fills. This option provides better results for
large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations.
●
Detail. Select this option for sharp edges and detail. This option is useful for text and graphics that
require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or high level
of detail.
Print in Grayscale
Select Print in Grayscale to print a color document in black and white. This option is useful for
previewing preliminary copies of slides and hardcopy output quickly or for color documents that will be
photocopied or faxed.
Color Themes
Use the Color Themes group box to determine how colors are rendered. The settings affect the color
rendering and print quality in the print job.
RGB Color
The RGB Color settings affect the color treatment for object types and determine how colors are
rendered. The options are Default (sRGB), Vivid, Photo, and Photo (AdobeRGB 1998).
NOTE: Custom color themes can be added and configured using the HP Basic Color Match Tool.
●
Default (sRGB). Interprets RGB color space (sRGB), which is the accepted standard for many
software companies and organizations such as Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium.
Default (sRGB) is the default setting.
●
Vivid. Sets the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are
rendered more colorfully. This option is recommended for printing business graphics.
