Print Quality

Select the appropriate print quality option for your image. Keep in mind that Fast 600 provides the lowest quality but fastest print, and that Photo 1200 provides the highest quality but slowest print. You may wish to experiment with these options to see which one is best for your particular CD label.

Dither Mode

Select this option to choose the appropriate dither mode for your image. Select Best For Photos if printing a design primarily composed of photographic images. Select Best For Graphics if mainly printing text, lines, and graphics.

Color Matching

Click on the Color Matching box and choose the color matching option that’s right for you. Select None if you are more interested in print speed rather than print color, if you have already color corrected your image for printing, or if you are using some other third party color matching software.

Select Algebraic if you would like the printer driver to make very simple color balance adjustments. This option gives you more natural looking images without actually utilizing any specific color matching software.

Select PrimaColor to enable color matching profiles written specifically for the CD Color Printer III. The PrimaColor by Candela Color Management System automatically adjusts the color of your image according to preconfigured printer profiles and default system profiles. This results in a very precise color match compliant with ICC standards.

Select ColorSync to perform a ColorSync™ match on the image to be printed. This option enables ColorSync to color correct your image according to preset printer profiles and the selected system profile. A default system profile is installed into the ColorSync Preferences folder. For best results, however, it is recommended that you use the specific profile for your monitor. To select this profile, select Control Panels from the Apple menu, and double-click on ColorSync System Profile. Then, click on the Set Profile… button, and select the specific profile for your monitor. If you cannot find your monitor’s profile, select the default system profile called Default CD Monitor. Click on the Select button. The profile is now selected.
