RGB Color
Two values are available for the RGB Color setting:
● Default instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as sRGB. sRGB is the accepted
standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Organization (www).
● Vivid instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones so that colored
objects appear more colorful. Printed blues and greens will likely appear darker than on
your monitor. This option is good for business graphics or for producing colors similar to
the HP Color LaserJet 4550.
● Device instructs the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render
photographs properly with this selection, you must manage image color in the
application or operating system.
Adjusting color balance
This printer features automatic color calibration to provide high-quality color output. In
situations that require critical color control, you can manually adjust the density balance of
the printer’s four toner colors. The available range for each color is from -5 to +5. The default
value is 0.
CAUTION
This procedure should only be performed by your network administrator. Performing this
procedure changes the color balance of the printer by altering halftones and affects all print
jobs.
