Printing in Color The HP DeskJet 870C printer prints in color when using a color-capable application. To print in color, be sure you have created colored text or pictures within a document, then turn on color printing in the application. The quality of the color printing depends partly on how the four inks black, cyan, yellow, and magenta - are placed on the printed page. HP's ColorSmart technology enables the printer to intelligently analyze documents at the time of printing to provide the best color output. ColorSmart identifies each element on a page - text, simple graphics, or compels graphics such as photographic images - and automatically applies the appropriate color settings. It's a good idea to print draft copies of color documents in grayscale using the black print cartridge. Grayscale printing is much faster than color printing, and printing grayscale drafts helps conserve color cartridges. To print in grayscale, set Grayscale in the Print dialog.

Printing in Color
The HP DeskJet 870C printer prints in color when using a color-capable
application. To print in color, be sure you have created colored text or
pictures within a document, then turn on color printing in the application.
The quality of the color printing depends partly on how the four inks -
black, cyan, yellow, and magenta - are placed on the printed page. HP’s
ColorSmart technology enables the printer to intelligently analyze
documents at the time of printing to provide the best color output.
ColorSmart identifies each element on a page - text, simple graphics, or
compels graphics such as photographic images - and automatically
applies the appropriate color settings.
It‘s a good idea to print draft copies of color documents in grayscale using
the black print cartridge. Grayscale printing is much faster than color
printing, and printing grayscale drafts helps conserve color cartridges. To
print in grayscale, set Grayscale in the Print dialog.
