Description

Contrast is generally used to make last-minute adjustments to the print job after proofing. By adjusting the Contrast setting, you can control the difference between the light tones and the dark tones in your image.

The following options are available:

●None: The printer applies maximum dry ink coverage. This is the default setting.

●Cool: Blue tones appear clearer.

●Lively: Increases the color saturation.

●Saturated: Increases the strength (chroma or purity).

●Sharp: Increases the contrast.

●Warm: Sets the hues in the low densities to a bright reddish color.

The Gradation parameter contains a list of gradation tables that were created in the CX print server Gradation Tool window. Each gradation table contains specific settings for brightness, contrast, and color balance.

When you select your predefined gradation table, your job is adjusted according to the specific table's settings.

Select when you have images from different sources, such as digital cameras, Internet, and scanners and you want the images to have the common RGB color spaces.

Note: If you select the Use source CSA profile option and the file does not contain an embedded source profile, the CX print server uses the default source profile, PhotoRGBv2 for RGB and GRACoL2006_Coated for CMYK.

The desired CMYK source profile from the following: , Euroscale_Coated, Fogra_Coated, Fogra_WebCoated, Fogra_Uncoated, GRACoL2006_Coated, ISO_Coated, JapanColor2001_Coated, SWOP®, ISO_Uncoated, US_Sheetfed_Coated, ISO_Coated_V2_eci, Toyo- Ink_Coated, None
