NOTE | Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room’s lighting can affect the |

| The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop®, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and many other |
| applications use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in |
| Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a means to exchange |
| color information between applications and devices using a common definition that ensures |
| typical users will experience greatly improved color matching. The sRGB standard improves |
| your ability to match colors between the printer, the PC monitor, and other input devices |
| (scanners and digital cameras) automatically, without the need to become a color expert. |
Printing in four-colors (CMYK [available for the HP Color
LaserJet 3700 series printer])
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) are the inks used by a printing press. The process is often called
CMYK ink set emulation (PostScript only)
The printer’s color rendering of CMYK can be made to emulate several standard Offset Press ink sets.
● Default. This selection is good for general purpose rendering of CMYK data. It is designed to render photographs well, while at the same time providing rich saturated colors for text and graphics.
● Specifications for Web Offset Publications (SWOP). Common ink standard in the U.S. and other locations.
● Euroscale. Common ink standard in Europe and other locations.
● Dainippon Ink and Chemical (DIC). Common ink standard in Japan and other locations.
● Device. Emulation is turned off. To render photographs properly with this selection, images require color management in the application or operating system.
Use the SWOP or EURO emulation of CMYK inks to achieve the best match of PANTONE®
