Using color The HP Color LaserJet 3000, 3600, and 3800 Series printers provide automatic color features that generate excellent color results. Carefully designed and tested color tables provide smooth, accurate color rendition of all printable colors. The printers also provide sophisticated tools for the experienced professional. HP ImageREt HP ImageREt is a technology that provides the best color print quality without having to change printer driver settings or make trade-offs between print quality, performance, and memory. ImageREt produces photorealistic images. Depending on your printer, the following HP ImageREt versions offer trapping technologies, control over dot placement, and more precise control of the toner quality in a dot. ● HP ImageREt 2400 (HP Color LaserJet 3000 Series printer) produces a 600x600 dpi print resolution that provides 2400-dpi laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors. ● HP ImageREt 3600 (HP Color LaserJet 3600 and 3800 Series printers) produces a 600x600 dpi print resolution that provides 3600-dpi laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors. Media selection For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the software printer menu or from the printer control panel. See Selecting print media. Color options Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print quality for each object. In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer driver. Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices (printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television. NOTE Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, see Matching colors. The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop®, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and many other programs use sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space in Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has been adopted broadly. When programs and devices use sRGB to exchange color information, typical users experience greatly improved color matching. 100 Chapter 6 Color ENWW

HP ImageREt is a technology that provides the best color print quality without having to change printer
driver settings or make trade-offs between print quality, performance, and memory. ImageREt produces
photorealistic images.
Depending on your printer, the following HP ImageREt versions offer trapping technologies, control over
dot placement, and more precise control of the toner quality in a dot.
HP ImageREt 2400
(HP Color LaserJet 3000 Series printer) produces a 600x600 dpi print
resolution that provides 2400-dpi laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors.
HP ImageREt 3600
(HP Color LaserJet 3600 and 3800 Series printers) produces a 600x600 dpi
print resolution that provides 3600-dpi laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the software printer menu
or from the printer control panel. See
Selecting print media

Color options
Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which
provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page.
The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that
provide the best print quality for each object.

Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a
common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices
(printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems,
the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows
monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE
Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the
appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, see

, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and many other programs use
sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space in Microsoft operating systems, sRGB
has been adopted broadly. When programs and devices use sRGB to exchange color information,
