How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?

From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These are also available from the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates a multiple-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or RGB combination is located on each box, depending on the table selected. The observed color of each box is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the selected color conversion table.

By examining Color Samples sets, a user can identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color. The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software program. For more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual color correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular object.

Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on the Color Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations). When the printer Color Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information; and no color conversion is implemented.

Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist in which the software program or the computer operating system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management. The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.

What are detailed Color Samples and how do I access them?

Detailed Color Samples sets are available only through the Embedded Web Server of a network printer. A detailed Color Samples set contains a range of shades (displayed as colored boxes) that are similar to a user-defined RGB or CMYK value. The likeness of the colors in the set are dependent on the value entered in the RGB or CMYK Increment box.

This means that both models are well-suited for high-volume printing tasks, allowing users to print large documents quickly and efficiently.

In terms of print quality, both printers utilize advanced laser technology. They are capable of producing sharp text and vibrant graphics with a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. This level of detail makes these printers ideal for producing professional documents, including reports, presentations, and marketing materials.

Another key characteristic of the Lexmark 420 and 430 is their paper handling capabilities. Both models support a variety of media sizes and types, including letter, legal, and A4 sizes, as well as envelopes and labels. The standard input tray has a capacity of 250 sheets, and there is an option to add additional trays for increased capacity, making these printers versatile in handling different printing needs.

Connectivity options are another significant aspect of the Lexmark 420 and 430. These printers feature USB and Ethernet interfaces, allowing for easy integration into both wired and wireless networks. This connectivity facilitates convenient sharing among multiple users in an office environment, enhancing productivity and collaboration.

Security features are also well-implemented in both models. They come equipped with secure printing options to protect sensitive documents, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access printed materials.

Finally, user-friendly interfaces and intuitive control panels make the Lexmark 420 and 430 easy to operate, with options for setting preferences and monitoring printer status efficiently. With their combination of speed, quality, and versatile features, the Lexmark 420 and 430 are solid choices for any office looking to enhance productivity and maintain high printing standards.
