Page 474: About Color Printing
The colors that you see on a computer screen are reproduced from the three basic colors red, green and blue. The 3 primary colors of light, which are red, green and blue, can be combined to give white (additive color mixing).
Page 475: 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.
Page 476: 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).

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. By making minor adjustments and taking a little bit of care, we can make sure we get 100% out of the printer.
Page 478: 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.
