Using Custom Settings Your printer software includes custom project types with preset printing options. This lets you quickly select the best settings for your particular type of document, or select a color-matching method for your project. You can select from these project types: s Text/Graph: For printing graphics-intensive documents like presentations with charts and graphs. s Economy: For printing rough drafts of text on plain paper. Saves ink. s ICM (Image Color Matching): For printing documents created in an ICM compatible application. s sRGB (standard Red Green Blue): For printing documents created in an sRGB compatible application using sRGB colors, such as those designed for the World Wide Web. See your Windows online help for details. s ColorSync (Macintosh only): For printing documents in conjunction with ColorSync® compatible devices and applications. Using Advanced Settings For maximum control over your project, you can customize your print settings-such as Print Quality, Halftoning, and Gamma-and use special effects. To access these settings in your printer software, click Custom and then click the Advanced button. After you customize your print settings, you can save them as a group so you can reuse them whenever you print a similar project. The default Gamma setting of 1.8 provides the optimum contrast quality for your photos. However, you can change it to either 1.5 (for decreased contrast) or 2.2 (for increased contrast; recommended for matching colors with sRGB devices). 24
