Color management on the KX-P8420
64
The KX-P8420 uses a simple and flexible color architecture that produces
excellent color results with default settings. It also allows you to customize
your color results using various color controls.
Settings for the following KX-P8420 options can be specified via print dialog
box options when you send a job. Some can also be set as defaults by the
administrator during KX-P8420 Setup. Settings specified via the print dialog
box override any equivalent settings at the printer's front panel.

What it does
Applies an RGB source space definition
to RGB data.
Applies a KX-P8420 color rendering
dictionary (CRD) to objects (text,
photographs and illustrations) in an RGB
data file (see
page
66).
With Windows 95, the ColorWise
Business Color setting assigns default
CRDs automatically.
For information on how various CRDs are
used for different types of elements in
documents, see
pages 16,18
and
page 29
(Macintosh).
Performs a color adjustment on all color
channels to make the printed output
lighter or darker.
Adjusts CMYK color data to simulate an
offset press standard or a custom color
gamut defined at your site. Selecting
None bypasses simulation.
Allows closer color matching between
monitor and printed output. Click the
option button to select a color matching
method, and specify a rendering intent.
