If your color management is not working correctly for some reason
If you want colors that are subjectively pleasing rather than accurate
The printer driver provides different adjustment facilities depending on whether you are printing in color or in
grayscale. If you are printing in pure black and white, there are no color adjustment options.
Printing in color
You can adjust the colors of your print under Windows:
In the Windows driver dialog:
select the
Color
tab, ensure that the
Advanced color adjustments
box is
checked, then press the
Settings
button beside it.
Under either operating system, you will then be able to make adjustments using a lightness slider and three
color sliders.
The lightness slider simply makes the whole print lighter or darker.
The color sliders can be used to fade or emphasize each of the primary colors in the print. The primary
colors may be red, green and blue; or cyan, magenta and yellow; depending on the color model used in the
image.
The
Reset
button restores each slider to its default central position.
Printing in grayscale
You can adjust the gray balance of your print in similar ways under Windows and Mac OS X:
In the Windows driver dialog:
select the
Color
tab, ensure that the
Advanced color adjustments
box is
checked, then press the
Settings
button beside it. You will then be able to make adjustments using
separate controls for highlights, midtones and shadows.
In the Mac OS X Print dialog:
select the
Color Options
panel, then
Grayscale
from the Mode dropdown list.
You can also select
Pure Black and White
if you only want black and white without gray shades.
