TIPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR

The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour output from your printer.

PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES

Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.

If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or Digital Camera settings.

PRINTING FROM OFFICE APPLICATIONS

Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint.

PRINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS (E.G. A COMPANY LOGO)

There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help match specific colours:

Colour Correct Utility

Colour Swatch Utility

ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT

If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control to adjust it.

If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the Saturation control.
