HP ColorSmart II Utility
HP ColorSmart II technology optimizes the color and halftoning for
each element in a document (such as text, graphics, and photographs).
•
The HP ColorSmart II utility uses the
Screen Match
setting to
reproduce all elements in a document. The HP ColorSmart II utility uses
a smooth halftone for photographs, raster graphics, and vector graphics,
and uses a detail halftone for text. This setting provides consistent color
treatment for everything on a page.
•
When
Transparency
is selected in the Paper tab of the printer driver,
the HP ColorSmart II utility chooses specialized colors to provide the
best projection quality.
•
The HP ColorSmart II utility is also the most reliable setting for
PANTONE
®
* color reproduction. For more information on using
PANTONE colors, see “PANTONE Colors” later in this chapter.
Manual Mode
For custom color printing jobs, you can turn off HP ColorSmart II
defaults and set color adjustments manually. The Manual mode allows
you to adjust the color settings for text, graphics, and photographs
separately by manipulating the available settings. The following settings
apply to all types of media:
•
Halftone
—Changes the method used to produce lighter shades of solid
colors.
•
Smooth
—Works well for solid areas, gradients, and photographs by
smoothing out fine color gradations and providing accurate color
reproduction.
•
Detail
—Works well for text, multiple-colored text, line art, and
detail-oriented graphics by providing sharper edges.
•
Color Adjustment
—Changes the color settings for elements on the
page.
•
Screen Match
—Color is optimized for reproducing of sRGB
monitor colors. (The term sRGB is generally used to define RGB,
red/green/blue, color output for monitors.) This setting maximizes the
similarities between the appearance of the printed document and the
document as it appears on the monitor. Screen Match is the printer
default input color source.
•
Vivid
—Saturation of colors is enhanced to produce high-impact
color appearance.
•
OHT
—(Overhead Transparency) For optimized color quality for
projection.
