COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS 16 Black Text and Graphics The Black Text and Graphics option affects black text and vector graphics. Under most circumstances, set this option to Pure Black On. When Black Text and Graphics is set to Pure Black On, black colors generated by applications (for example, RGB=0, 0, 0 or CMYK=0%, 0%, 0%, 100%) are printed using black toner only. The black text and line art do not exhibit halftone artifacts (as long as the copier is calibrated correctly) and are not misregistered, since one toner is used. In addition, this setting eliminates blasting. This option must be set to Pure Black On if you want to set the Black Overprint option to Text or Text/Graphics. For some jobs, it is preferable to set this option to Normal, for example, if the page includes gradient fills that use black. The following table describes the behavior of the Black Text and Graphics option with black data defined in different color spaces.

Black Text and Graphics
The Black Text and Graphics option affects black text and
vector graphics
. Under most
circumstances, set this option to Pure Black On. When Black Text and Graphics is set to Pure
Black On, black colors generated by applications (for example, RGB=0, 0, 0 or CMYK=0%,
0%, 0%, 100%) are printed using black toner only. The black text and line art do not exhibit
halftone
artifacts
(as long as the copier is calibrated correctly) and are not misregistered, since
one toner is used. In addition, this setting eliminates
blasting

Black On if you want to set the Black Overprint option to Text or Text/Graphics.
For some jobs, it is preferable to set this option to Normal, for example, if the page includes
gradient
fills that use black. The following table describes the behavior of the Black Text and
Graphics option with black data defined in different color spaces.
