Color Themes

The Color Themes group box contains the following RGB color options, which determines how colors are rendered:

Default (sRGB)

Photo (sRGB)

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)

Vivid (sRGB)

None

Custom Profile

Default (sRGB)

Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Colors are matched to optimize the RGB colors on the screen and to provide vivid images and graphics.

Photo (sRGB)

Select Photo (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap images, such as .GIF or .eps files. This setting instructs the product to use the best color matching for rendering sRGB bitmap images. This setting affects only raster data; it has no effect on text or vector-based graphics. Using glossy paper in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)

Select Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For example, some digital cameras capture images in Adobe RBG, and documents that are produced with Adobe PhotoShop use the Adobe RGB color space. When printing from a professional software program that uses Adobe RGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the software program and allow the product software to manage the color space.

Vivid (sRGB)

The Vivid (sRGB) feature instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.

None

Select None to instruct the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render documents properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating system.

CAUTION: Use this option only if you are familiar with the procedures for managing color in the software program or in the operating system.

Custom Profile

Select Custom Profile when you want to duplicate the printed output from other products or for using special effects. This setting instructs the product to use a custom profile to emulate color output from another product by modifying how color is rendered.
