Professional Color Tools for Both Novices and Professionals

The magicolor 2430 DL is designed with the color novice in mind. The
printer features an internal color matching system that automatically
selects the proper color model based on the specific elements on any
given page. For more professional color users, the printer supports ICC
device profiles to more intricately adjust color. Lastly, the printer
includes enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC), which
produces consistent color on each and every printed page.

Automatic ICC-Based Color Matching

The magicolor 2430 DL's printer driver includes an ICC-based color
matching system that provides single-button controls for automatic
correction of color files. Using built-in ICC profiles and an sRGB color
space, this printer-resident system makes it as easy to get great color
from a PowerPoint presentation as it is from a desktop publishing
application such as QuarkXPress. Both inexperienced and professional
color users will find its color matching methods easy to navigate.
When the color matching system is activated, users can choose from
three different color rendering methods for three different types of page
elements (graphics, images, and text):
Colorimetric—This is the best choice when you're printing solid
colors, automatically making adjustments for consistent,
predictable output.
Perceptual—This is the ideal selection when you're printing
photographic images. It's tuned to enhance images for high-
quality proofs.
Saturation—When bright colors are needed for text and graphics,
this is the best selection.
If you prefer, you can use the driver's custom selections to manually
fine-tune your color output. The convenient slider bars make it easy to
adjust image contrast, brightness, saturation, and sharpness.
