Phaser 220 Drivers and Utilities
The Vivid Blue option makes printed blue appear less purple by reducing
the amount of magenta used to print blue colors. Other colors in the
cyan-blue-purple-magenta range in the image are also adjusted to
compensate for the adjusted blue. Colors in the red-orange-yellow-green
range are not affected. This selection is good for making presentation
graphics, such as overhead transparencies, and for bright-looking colors that
donÕt need to match the screenÕs colors or printing press colors.
This adjusts CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) colors using a
method that adds black to other components. This option prints more
saturated (darker) colors and may be useful for printing overhead
transparencies for presentations from some applications, such as Microsoft
PowerPoint. Use this option if you have speciÞed a color in the CMYK
system, and the color has a black component, and the color appears lighter
than you expected when printed.
