Color Guide
Color Printing Basics
Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models
All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB
model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model
produces white.
Note
r RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer
screen are produced by varying the intensities of RGB.
Printed color is a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow, which is normally called
the CMY color model. When mixed in equal proportions the CMY color model
produces black.
red
green blue
yellow
cyan magentavii
Note
r CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color. Your printer uses CMY toner plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing.
The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta,
and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are
mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces
cyan, for example). The remaining color is the compliment of the color produced
(red in this example). Complimentary colors are: red and cyan, green and magenta, blue and yellow.
red
cyan
yellow magenta
green blueviii
Printed Color
Your printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model.
Note
r Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pure black,
but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce
a muddy or dark brown. Black toner is added to the color model in order to
make it possible to produce pure black.
If an image consisted of nothing by cyan, for example, cyan toner would be used
by itself and there would be no problem producing the desired color. Full-color
printing, on the other hand, requires reproduction of tens of thousands of subtle
colors. These can be produced by controlling the relative proportions of the
CMYK toner particles printed within a unit area.
Relatively dense and light shades of the same color also can be reproduced by
controlling the volume of toner in a unit area.ix
Example of Color Adjustments Using the Printer Driver
The following provides a number of examples to show you what happens when
you change the various color settings provided in the printer driver.
Resolution
Resolution is the number of dots the printer can print within one inch. Resolution is expressed in units of dpi, which stands for dots per inch. The higher the
resolution, the better the quality of the printed image.
Note
r Printing at a high resolution takes longer and requires more printer memory.
600 dpi
300 dpix
Edge Smoothing
Edge Smoothing is a technique used for improving the print quality of text and
graphics. Indentations in curved lines are automatically smoothed to produce a
clearer appearance.
Limitation
r Printing photographs or images containing gradations may result in a change
in image quality with Edge Smoothing on.
Auto:
Edge Smoothing is effective. However, this setting is ignored when [2 bit] is selected for the [Color Level] on the [Color Setting] tab.
Off:
Edge Smoothing is not effective.xi
Toner Saving
Turning on Toner Saving reduces the amount of toner used for printing. This setting does not help to improve printout quality, but instead is used when printing
preliminary drafts of a document.
Limitation
r Turning on the Toner Saving can cause output to become blurred and result
in very thin lines not printing at all. It can cause colors to be different than expected when printing color.
Off
Onxii
Image Printing
This setting lets you select the resolution for printing of image data.
Standard
All image data with a resolution greater than 300 dpi is printed at 300 dpi.
Fast
All image data with a resolution greater than 150 dpi is printed at 150 dpi. This
increases printing speed, but can make image data appear rough.
Fine
Prints image data at the resolution set in [Resolution]. If 300 dpi is selected, all image data with a resolution greater than 300 dpi is printed at 300 dpi. If 600 dpi is
selected, all image data with a resolution greater than 600 dpi is printed at 600
dpi. This slows down printing speed, but produces the best quality.xiii
Color Adjustments Using the Printer Driver
The following provides a number of examples to show you what happens when
you change the various color settings provided in the printer driver. The colors
produced by the printer do not exactly match those you see on your monitor.
This is because the computer uses the emitted color model (RGB) while the
printer uses the reflected color model (CMYK). The color settings provide a
number of controls that you can use to bring printed colors closer to what they
look like on your monitor. You can also use these settings to perform color correction, which changes the clarity of the image.
Reference
See the printer driver's online help for details about making this setting.
Color Correction
Use these settings to adjust the color correction pattern.
Off
Vivid
This setting enhances the basic colors for text and graphics. This setting is best
for printing tables, graphs, and presentation materials that contain color.xiv
Photographic
This setting enhances midtone colors similar to those seen in photographs.
Color Level
Use to set the number of colors used per dot. ( [2 bit] uses a greater number of
colors than [1 bit] )
1 bit
2 bitxv
Brightness
This setting controls the overall brightness of the image. Moving the slider to the
plus (+) side increases brightness, while moving it to the minus (-) side decreases
brightness.
Contrast
This setting controls the range between the darkest and lightest shade of an image. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side decreases the range and makes contrast stronger, while moving it to the minus (-) side expands the range.
Saturation
This setting controls the purity of a color. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side
increases saturation and makes colors more vivid, while moving it to the minus
(-) side decreases saturation.xvi
Color Balance
These settings let you control the relative intensity of the individual colors of the
additive color model (red, green, blue).
Note
r The position of the color bar also affects the complementary color relationship. Red, for example, is printed using magenta and yellow toner, so increasing the level of red also decreases the level of cyan.xvii
