Printer driver color mode settings
Setting
When to use it
Colorsmart/sRGB
Most imaging devices, such as monitors,
cameras, and scanners, normally use
sRGB. The printer is also set to
Colorsmart/sRGB by default. When set
to this mode, the printer converts colors
from sRGB to the printer's ink colors.
Tip
You should not have the printer set
to this mode if you are also using ICC
profiles and your application to manage
color. This can result in decreased color
fidelity since the colors are converted
twice—first by the application and then
by the printer.

Adobe RGB
or
Adobe RGB (1998)
You can set some imaging devices to
Adobe RGB, an enhanced version of the
sRGB color space, developed for high-
fidelity digital photography. When set to
this mode, the printer converts colors
from Adobe RGB to the printer's ink
colors.
Tip
You should not have the printer set
to this mode if you are also using ICC
profiles and your application to manage
color. This can result in decreased color
fidelity since the colors are converted
twice—first by the application and then
by the printer.
