Overview
This group of tabs gives you access to all of the color management controls available in the ChromaBlast C120 or C110 driver. Utilizing the power of the Epson C120/C110 driver technology, the ChromaBlast C120/C110 driver interprets bitmap and vector elements in a similar fashion.
Vector and Bitmap Explanation
Bitmaps are a grid of pixels. Bitmaps come from digital cameras, scanners, and photo CDs. Bitmaps can also be created in applications like Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop. Bitmaps have file extensions like GIF, JPG, BMP, and TIF. Vector components consist of shapes, curves, lines, and text. They are created in programs such as CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator. Higher end programs like CorelDraw can combine Vector and Bitmaps into a single image. The ChromaBlast C120 driver will color correct all bitmap files and vector components as bitmap images.

Intense – This kicks the color intensity and saturation to the extreme. This setting does not try to keep color accurate; its main goal is to produce deep dark colors. Artwork, graphics, logos, and text are good candidates for this setting. Some photographs will look good
