Dither Mode

Select this option to choose the appropriate dither mode for your image. Select Optimize for photos if printing a design primarily composed of photographic images. Select Optimize for graphics if mainly printing text, lines, and graphics.

Color Matching

Click on the Color Matching down arrow and choose the color matching option thatÕs right for you. Select None if you are more interested in print speed rather than print color, if your image is created in a CMYK color model, if you have already color corrected your image for printing, or if you are using some other third party color matching software.

Select Algebraic if you would like the printer driver to make very simple color balance adjustments based on an RGB color model. This option gives you more natural looking images without actually utilizing any specific color matching software.

Select PrimaColor to enable color matching profiles written specifically for the CD Color Printer. The PrimaColor by Candela Color Management System automatically adjusts the color of your image according to preconfigured printer profiles and default system profiles. This results in a very precise color match compliant with ICC standards.

Ink Saturation

This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image. When printing onto the printer manufacturerÕs TuffCoat CD media, this option should be left at its default setting of 100%. When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media. Click and drag on the slideÕs box, or click on the left and right arrows to change the ink saturation setting. Moving the slideÕs box to the left reduces the overall ink saturation, while moving it to the right increases it.

Rotate 180

Select this option to rotate your printed image 180¡. Although this option is not relevant when printing onto a CD, it does provide greater flexibility when printing onto a jewel case booklet or insert.
