Expert Color Control

Expert Color Control enables you to fine-tune the colors on your printed document.

NOTE: The Expert Color Control results will be much different between PostScript and PCL 5C due to the differences in the printer description languages.

COLOR ADJUSTMENT

In Color Adjustment, there are two slider bars you can use to make adjustments for lightness and saturation. As you slide each bar, the numerical value for that bar is indicated in the box to the right of the bar.

Lightness

Lightness relates to the brightness of the color produced. A higher setting lightens the colors on the document overall, giving it a faded look, while a lower setting darkens the colors overall.

Saturation

Saturation affects the intensity of color or the amount of chromatic color in proportion to its lightness. For example, this is the aspect that distinguishes a pale red from a bright red. A lower setting provides less color saturation (is less colorful), while a higher setting provides a higher color saturation (is more colorful) on your document overall.
