Printing With Epson Drivers for Macintosh 103

Contrast adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of your image.

Shadow Tonality and Highlight Tonality allow you to control tonality only in the shadow or highlight areas of your image.

Max Optical Density adjusts the overall density or focus of the print. Create a soft focus print by setting the density lower.

Highlight Point Shift helps to reduce gloss differential by adding density to the highlights of your image.

The tone color circle adjusts the hue of your black and white print. Click on any portion of the color wheel or enter corresponding values to customize the tone (hue) added to your print. The closer you select to the edge of the wheel, the more color you add.

The preview image approximates the image tone based on your settings. Note that this preview always shows the same image and is not color managed. It provides a level of feedback as you make changes.

Creating a Custom Preset and Printing

Once you’ve made the correct settings for your print job, create a custom preset. This will save you time when you use the same profile/printer/ink/media combination for future print jobs.
