About Color Printing

This chapter introduces the color features available on your printer, including
printer resolutions, Automatic Image Density Control (AIDC), and color
matching. In addition, it includes a brief troubleshooting section to help you
deal with any color problems that might arise.
Color printing is based on the principles of subtractive colors, using pigment
to absorb light and reflect the appropriate colors back to the viewer's eye. The
magicolor 2350 Reference Guide includes a chapter on color basics, if you
want to learn more about the theory behind color printing. The Reference
Guide also includes a chapter on color profiles, which explains how monitor
colors are translated into printed colors and tells you how to download
specialized color profiles, if you need them.

Printer Resolutions

Your printer offers a choice of three print resolutions, depending on which
driver you select.

Selecting a Resolution

Select the print resolution from your application's print dialog box or from the
printer driver. The best option depends on what you're printing.
Draft mode is best for fast printing of review documents.
Standard is the fastest choice for color printing, producing pages at 6
pages per minute. Standard prints crisp type, so it's also a good choice for
documents that don't include graphics.
