Color balance (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow)
If necessary, adjust the strength of each color. To strengthen a color, drag the slider to the
right. To weaken a color, drag the slider to the left.
You can also directly enter a value linked to the slider. Enter a value in the range from -50
to 50.
Adjusting the color balance will result in variations in the balance among the volumes of the
individual color inks and hence in the hues of the document as a whole.
Use the printer driver only when adjusting the color balance slightly. To change the color
balance significantly, use the application software.
