Color Control

Get great color without great effort.

The magicolor 5440 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 magicolor 5440 DL includes enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC) so the printer will produce consistent color each and every print.

Automatic ICC-Based Color Matching

Resident within the magicolor 5440 DL’s printer driver is 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 appli- cation such as QuarkXPress. Its color matching methods are simple for both inexperienced and professional color users to navigate.

When activated, users can choose from three different color rendering methods (Perceptual, Colorimetric, and Saturation) for three different page elements (images, graphics, and text).

Perceptual - this is an ideal selection when printing photographic images. It’s tuned to enhance images for high-quality prints.

Colorimetric - this is the best choice when printing solid colors, automatically making adjustments for consistent, predictable output.

Saturation - when bright colors are needed for text and graphics, the Saturation selection is the right choice.

Consumers can also fine-tune color output with custom setting selec- tions available through the printer driver. Changing image contrast, brightness, saturation, and sharpness is easy with convenient, slide-bar adjustments.
