Performs color processing to increase color saturation to strengthen the intensity of colors. Performs color processing to obtain the standard colors of Epson. Performs color processing with Adobe RGB for wider color space. Select this option when, for example, printing print data that includes Adobe RGB color space information. Produces a softer image than one printed using a gamma value of 1.8. Produces a print with more depth and crispness than one printed using a gamma value of 1.5. Use this value for normal printing. Use this value when printing to match color with a device that uses sRGB. Allows you to use a slider to adjust the overall brightness of an image. With 0 as the standard, you can adjust the brightness from 25% to + 25%. Moving the slider in the negative direction (-) makes the image darker, and moving the slider in the positive direction (+) makes the image brighter. This is useful for images that are too dark or too light overall. Allows you to use a slider to adjust the contrast between light and dark in an image. With 0 as the standard, you can adjust the contrast from - 25% to + 25%. When you increase the contrast, the bright areas become brighter and the dark areas become darker. Conversely, if you decrease the contrast, the difference between light and dark in the image decreases. Allows you to use a slider to adjust the saturation (vividness of the colors) of an image. With 0 as the standard, you can adjust the brightness from - 25% to + 25%. When you increase the saturation, the colors become stronger. When you decrease the saturation, colors are lost and the image becomes colorless and close to gray. - setting: Strengthens red. + setting: Strengthens cyan. - setting: Strengthens green. + setting: Strengthens magenta. - setting: Strengthens blue. + setting: Strengthens yellow. 79

Adjusting Print Colors
This section describes how to adjust the colors of print data.
If you wish, you can make color adjustments at the time of printing without making color
adjustments to the actual data.
Mode
Photo-realistic
Uses the standard color correction of the printer driver for printing.
Vivid
Performs color processing to increase color saturation to
strengthen the intensity of colors.
EPSON Standard
Performs color processing to obtain the standard colors of Epson.
Adobe RGB
Performs color processing with Adobe RGB for wider color space.
Select this option when, for example, printing print data that
includes Adobe RGB color space information.
Gamma
1.5
Produces a softer image than one printed using a gamma value of
1.8.
1.8
Produces a print with more depth and crispness than one printed
using a gamma value of 1.5. Use this value for normal printing.
2.2
Use this value when printing to match color with a device that uses
sRGB.
Adjustments
Brightness
Allows you to use a slider to adjust the overall brightness of an
image. With 0 as the standard, you can adjust the brightness from -
25% to + 25%. Moving the slider in the negative direction (-) makes
the image darker, and moving the slider in the positive direction (+)
makes the image brighter. This is useful for images that are too dark
or too light overall.
Contrast
Allows you to use a slider to adjust the contrast between light and
dark in an image. With 0 as the standard, you can adjust the
contrast from - 25% to + 25%. When you increase the contrast, the
bright areas become brighter and the dark areas become darker.
Conversely, if you decrease the contrast, the difference between
light and dark in the image decreases.
Saturation
Allows you to use a slider to adjust the saturation (vividness of the
colors) of an image. With 0 as the standard, you can adjust the
brightness from - 25% to + 25%. When you increase the saturation,
the colors become stronger. When you decrease the saturation,
colors are lost and the image becomes colorless and close to gray.
Cyan
- setting: Strengthens red.
+ setting: Strengthens cyan.
Magenta
- setting: Strengthens green.
+ setting: Strengthens magenta.
Yellow
- setting: Strengthens blue.
