HP Designjet 5500mfp Color Manual page 14

Color Mode
Color Photo
Should be used when copying color pictorial
images, characterized by having many colors,
transitions between colors or shadings. The main
intention is to have a copy as perceptually similar
to the original as possible, even though the colors
are not exactly the same.
Brochure
Should be used when there is a mix of text (sharp
and crisp contrast) and pictures. It is a
compromise between having good perceptual
reproduction of the pictures and crisp text.
Map
Should be used for maps, graphics and other
documents that have area fills: areas of one color
surrounded by areas of another color. The edges
between adjacent color areas are enhanced
(sharpened) and, assuming that the background
is white, a background cleaning feature is
applied.
Cad
Should be used for line drawings (architectural,
mechanical, electrical drawings) or text
document. Lines may be thin, and should be
copied as sharply as possible. The same image
enhancements of the Map type are applied.
