Neutral Grays

The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.

●Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs.

●4-Colorgenerates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.

Match colors

For most users, the best method for matching colors is to print sRGB colors.

The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is complex, because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by using light pixels that use an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors by using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.

Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor:

●Print media

●Printer colorants (inks or toners, for example)

●Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology, for example)

●Overhead lighting

●Personal differences in perception of color
