[Color] Sheet
You can switch between color printing and black-and-white printing, and adjust colors.
NOTEIf you select [Printer Default], the setting of the device is applied.
[Color Mode]
Switches between printing in color or in black-and-white. To detect automatically whether each page should be printed in color or in black-and-white, select [Auto [Color/B&W]].
[RGB Source Profile]
Enables you to select an RGB profile that matches the monitor and is applied when printing RGB data. If [None] is selected, color separation of the RGB data to CMYK is performed without applying an RGB profile.
NOTEIf you want to add a profile that you have created, download it to the device using the Resource Management plug-in of the imageWARE Enterprise Management Console/iW Management Console.
[RGB Matching Method]
Enables you to select the printing method when an RGB input profile is applied.
[Printer Default]
Uses the settings of the device.
[Saturation]
Optimizes the output of pure, saturated colors and produces clear outlines for text.
[Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]]/[Perceptual]
Optimizes the range of colors on the device to produce the best result for bitmapped images.
[Perceptual [Photographic]]/[General]
Optimizes the range of colors on the device to produce the best result for photographic images.
[Colorimetric]
Provides a close match when rendering RGB colors into CMYK colors, regardless of the media being used.
[Vivid Photo]
Provides stronger and deeper colors than [Perceptual [Photographic]].
NOTEIf you set [Output Profile] to a setting other than [Standard], [Perceptual [Photographic]] becomes the same color shade as [Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]]/[Perceptual], and [Vivid Photo] becomes the same color shade as [Saturation].
[RGB Pure Black Process]
Prints black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B using black (K) ink only. If you do not select this option, the CMYK inks are used, with the settings selected for [Output Profile] are applied.
[CMYK Simulation Profile]
Enables you to select a CMYK simulation profile. If [None] is selected, device-dependent color model is applied without applying a CMYK profile.
[CMYK Pure Black Process]
Prints black and gray data using black (K) ink only. If you do not select this option, the CMYK inks are used, with the settings selected for [Output Profile] are applied.
[Output Profile]
Enables you to select a profile that is defined by the color attributes of the device you are using.
NOTEIf you want to add a profile that you have created, download it to the device using the Resource Management plug-in of the imageWARE Enterprise Management Console/iW Management Console.
[100% GCR Profile]
Enables you to adjust the ink density so that irregularities in the print density of lines and text do not occur.
[Details] > [Detailed Settings] Dialog Box
Enables you to configure detailed color adjustment settings.
[Pure Black Text]
Prints black text (R=G=B=0%, C=M=Y=100%/Bk=N%, or C=M=Y=0%/Bk=100%) data using only black ink. This prevents non-aligned color ink from being printed around the black text.
[Composite Overprint]
Overprints CMYK data in its composite output form. Since all of the colors used in the data set are overprinted on one plate, you can confirm the finished result without separating the colors.
[Brightness]
Enables you to adjust the brightness with a slider bar.
[Grayscale Profile]
Converts printer dependent gray data to CMYK data when printing. If you do not use this function, the data is printed with black (K) ink only.
[RGB Color Input Adjustment]
Enables you to adjust color when printing RGB data.
[Settings] > [RGB Color Input Adjustment Details] Dialog Box
Enables you to adjust the hue, brightness, and contrast manually.
[Use CanoFine]
Adjusts the contrast and color balance of images to print distinct images.
[Settings] > [CanoFine Details] Dialog Box
Enables you to set the print processing method using the CanoFine function. If you select [Single-page Batch Processing], multiple bitmaps on a page are processed as a single data item.
[Distinguish between Color/B&W Pages at Host]
Distinguishes whether the print data is color or black-and-white (monochromatic) at the computer and prints in the mode corresponding to the result. If there is a large amount of bitmap data included in the data, it is printed in color.
[Apply Color/B&W Settings from Applications]
Prints with priority given to the color print setting or black and white print settings of the application.
[Restore Defaults]
Returns all the settings in this sheet to their default values.
