To Achieve More Beautiful Results in Smoother Operations When printing color images, the capacity of the printer will drop considerably if the desired color cannot be obtained, or if the image quality deteriorates, or if it takes a long time to print data. A printer can be used to its full extend with small adjustments or concerns. ■ Adjusting the color on the display Colors shown on the display are not always the actual colors. The actual color of the printed image may differ from the color that you see on the display if the color on the display is specified inaccurately. Use the color samples or color adjustment tools that come with the application software to adjust the displayed colors to the colors that are actually printed. 6 ■ Adjusting the resolution Image quality higher than the printer resolution cannot be obtained no matter how high you specified the resolution for the data. 600 dpi is sufficient for most print size. If the resolution of data is too high, not only will it take a long time to print, but the data size will increase as well. On the other hand, a sufficient image quality cannot be obtained if the resolution is too low. Appendix 6-6 About Color Printing

Appendix

To Achieve More Beautiful Results in Smoother

Operations

When printing color images, the capacity of the printer will drop considerably if the

desired color cannot be obtained, or if the image quality deteriorates, or if it takes a

long time to print data. A printer can be used to its full extend with small

adjustments or concerns.

■

Adjusting the color on the display

Colors shown on the display are not always the actual colors. The actual color of the

printed image may differ from the color that you see on the display if the color on the

display is specified inaccurately.

Use the color samples or color adjustment tools that come with the application software to

adjust the displayed colors to the colors that are actually printed.

■

Adjusting the resolution

Image quality higher than the printer resolution cannot be obtained no matter how high

you specified the resolution for the data. 600 dpi is sufficient for most print size. If the

resolution of data is too high, not only will it take a long time to print, but the data size will

increase as well. On the other hand, a sufficient image quality cannot be obtained if the

resolution is too low.
