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

.
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.
The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the device, the computer monitor,
and other input devices automatically, and eliminates the need to become a color expert.
Print in four colors (CMYK)
The device uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) inks. These are the same colored inks that
a printing press uses in four-color printing. Also, graphic arts (printing and publishing) environments
typically use CMYK data files to provide rich, saturated colors for text and graphics.
If you are using a Macintosh computer or the HP postscript level 3 emulation printer driver for Windows,
these options are available.
CMYK ink-set emulation
The devices use CMYK color rendering to emulate several standard offset-press ink sets:
Default CMYK+
: This selection is good for general-purpose rendering of CMYK data. It is designed
to render photographs well while providing rich, saturated colors for text and graphics.
Specifications for Web Offset Publications (SWOP)
: This selection replicates the common ink
standard in the U.S. and other locations.
Euroscale
: This selection replicates the common ink standard in Europe and other locations.
Dainippon Ink and Chemical (DIC)
: This selection replicates the common ink standard in Japan
and other locations.
Device
: This selection turns off emulation. Color must be managed in the software program or
operating system in order to render photographs correctly.
