Color printing
Use the HP EasyColor option
If you are using the HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically improves
mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Oce programs. This technology scans documents
and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format. The HP EasyColor technology
enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several pieces, which results in improved
color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.
If you are using the HP Postscript print driver for Mac, the HP EasyColor technology scans all documents and
automatically adjusts all photographic images with the same improved photographic results.
In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option. The
images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.
The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in both the HP PCL 6 print driver and the HP Mac Postscript
print driver, so y
ou do not need to make manual color adjustments. To disable the option so you can manually
adjust the color settings, open the Color tab in the Windows driver or the Color/Quality Options tab in the
Mac driver, and then click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it.
