Description
Use this setting to get a print with bright, saturated col-
ors.
Advised for vector drawings (like HP-GL).
All primary and secondary colors are clean, because
they are printed with pure inks. This is clearly visible if
you look at the color yellow that is printed with yellow
ink only.
An increase in coverage results in (almost) the same in-
crease in ink.
The blue color is not purplish but nice blue.
This mode is preferred for CAD drawings created with
applications like AutoCAD or ArcView.
Photos printed in this mode will look dull and grayish.
Use this setting to get a print with photo-realistic colors.
Advised for photos or graphic art presentations.
If you select [Graphics colors] you can also adjust the
advanced Color Management settings.
• [Graphics colors: RGB input color profile]
• [Graphics colors: CMYK input color profile] (only for
TIFF and JPEG files or for PostScript and PDF files)
• [Graphics colors: Grayscale input color profile] (only
for PostScript and PDF files)
• [Graphics colors: rendering intent]
Use this setting if your color management is completely
done by the application that generated the print file.
If color management is not handled correctly by the ap-
plication, possible problems are:
• - blue will be purplish (like in most inkjet printers)
• - raster-file information (like photos) will look dull and
dark.
