ABOUT COLOR

One of the simplest ways to make your documents clearer and visually interesting is to print in color. The printer combines the four colors in the two print cartridges—black, cyan, yellow, and magenta—to match the colors of the text and pictures (even photographs) on your screen.

Black

Cyan

Yellow

Magenta

Turning Off Color

The color text and pictures that you create in your documents will automati- cally print in color.You can print drafts of your color documents in grayscale if you’re going to photocopy them in black and white or if you want to save time and ink.

In the HP print settings box, click the Color tab, and then click Print in Grayscale.

A “” in this box means that color is turned off.

Your color documents will print in shades of gray until you change the setting.

If you want exceptional quality black and white documents, use Best or Normal mode with the grayscale setting. In these modes the printer will use some color ink

What If

THE PRINTED COLORS DONT MATCH THE SCREEN COLORS

Because of the physics of how color is made on screen (with light) and at the printer (with dyes and pigments), there might be a slight mismatch.

THE COLORS

ARENT AS VIVID AS THEY SHOULD BE

You might be printing on the wrong side of the paper. If turning the paper over makes no difference, change the print quality to Best.

If you’re using a special paper, change the Paper Type setting to match the paper (see page 5).
