Info

Automatic PANTONE® Matching The printer has a PANTONE Spot Name color matching utility. PANTONE has certified the printer and has mapped the PANTONE Spot Color names to the printer’s CMYK values. This color matching utility uses the certified mapping to provide the best PANTONE color matching for the printer. For the color matching utility to function, applications must pass the PANTONE names to the printer. Some applications substitute CMYK values to the printer if they cannot provide PANTONE names. If your application does not pass the PANTONE names to the printer, then the utility will be bypassed and color matching will depend on proper ink emulation. Selection of the proper ink emulation depends on the source of the palette (SWOP (Standard Web Offset Printing), EuroStandard, DIC, or None). The palette used for obtaining PANTONE CMYK values and the driver emulation mode setting should match. CMYK Ink Set Emulation You can select a CMYK ink emulation (SWOP, EuroStandard, DIC, or None - no emulation, device CMYK) from the dropdown menu to provide output similar to an offset press ink set. If color management is active in an application or OS, the ink emulation selected must be the same as when the printer was profiled.

Adjusting the Print Color and Quality Settings For most color printing needs, HP ColorSmart II default settings will handle your color adjustments. For some print jobs, you might want to turn off HP ColorSmart II defaults and set color controls manually. The following table shows default color settings in the printer driver and recommended printer driver settings for various types of printed output: Page Objects <strong>Printer</strong> Driver Setting/Desired Treatment Text Vector Graphics and Line Art Raster Data (Text, Graphics, and Line Art) Photographs All Page Objects on Transparencies HP ColorSmart II Default Setting Screen Match Detail Screen Match Detail Screen Match Smooth Screen Match Smooth Color optimized for transparencies Recommended Resolution of Input Data N/A N/A 600 dpi a 200 dpi or 300 dpi preferred (after scaling in your application) N/A a.
