❖3.Color Set (Color Setting)

You can select the correction method used for converting the RGB data to CMYK data.

•Off

No modification to the color setting.

•Vivid

Select this setting to perform CMYK conversion with enhanced saturation and brightness to print vivid colors.

•Super Vivid

Select this setting to perform CMYK conversion. The colors printed with this setting are more vivid than those printed with the "Vivid" setting. All of the colors in the image, especially the lighter ones, are emphasized.

•Fine

Select this setting to perform color matching based on the printer's built-in color rendering dictionaries, and perform CMYK conversion. It makes it

possible to print colors that are close to the displayed colors on the com-

puter screen.5 The color rendering dictionaries refer to the contents selected by “Color- Profile”. This setting is useful when the application and printer driver do

not support the color matching features.

Note

❒ The color rendering dictionary that is selected on “ColorProfile“ is used.

•Super Fine

Like the "Fine" setting, the color rendering dictionary is used, however, output is more vivid. This setting is enabled to make light colors print more vivid.

❖4.ColorProfile

You can select the color rendering dictionary (CRD). The CRD is referred to for color matching, so you should select the appropriate CRD for the docu- ment you are printing. The CRD you select is also referred to when “Fine” or “Super Fine” is selected for “Color Set”.

Note

❒ When selecting “OHP” as the paper type, the CRD automatically adjusts to use a color profile specifically for OHP. Even though the color profile has been optimized for OHP, the adjustments are automatic and are not in- dicated on any of the dialog boxes. In this case, this setting is not enabled.

•Photograph

Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of photos and graphics that include midtones.

•Presentation

Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of documents that contain text and graphics. This CRD is best for printing colored charts, graphs, presen- tation materials and so on. If you use this CRD for printing photographs, color gradations might not be reproduced well.
