About Color Printing This section describes the fundamentals of colors and the way this printer reproduces colors. The Three Primary Colors of Light and Color The colors that you see on a computer screen are reproduced from the three basic colors red, green and blue.
Page 472: Method For Expressing Color
The three primary colors of light and color are thus in a complementary color relationship. The red in light and cyan in color, green in light and magenta in color, and blue in light and yellow in color complement one another. Complementary Colors Green...
Page 473: About Color Printing
In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors. Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow).
Page 474: Achieving More Beautiful Color Printing
The data for all four colors is then transferred onto paper, and the paper passes through the ﬁxing unit and is output. Achieving More Beautiful Color Printing If the color in the print are not as expected, or the image quality is low, or the printout takes a long time, the printer performance is halved.
Page 475: Adjusting The Resolution
■ Adjusting the resolution It does not matter how high the resolution of printing data is, you cannot get better picture quality than the resolution of the printer. A resolution of 600 dpi at printer sizes is sufﬁcient. If the resolution of print data is too high, print processing will take a large amount of time, and the data size will also grow.
