If you print your 16-bit color images through a printer driver, they will be reduced to 8-bit colors before they reach the printer. In order to send a 16-bit color image to the printer, you must save it as a 16-bit color TIFF or JPEG file, then send the file directly to the printer without using a printer driver (see Using the Embedded Web Server to print files on page 46). In this case, color management is done on the 16-bit color image, and is therefore done more accurately. The image is still reduced to 8-bit colors for final printing. TIP: Some applications refuse to save a 16-bit color image in JPEG format; others automatically reduce it to 8-bit colors. A TIFF file generally gives a higher-quality result, and is recommended. Print in gray shades You can convert all colors in your image to shades of gray in the following ways: ● In your application program: many programs provide this option. ● In the Windows driver dialog: go to the Color tab and look at the Color Options section. Select Print in Grayscale. ● In the Mac OS Print dialog (PostScript driver): go to the Color Options panel and select Print In Grayscale. ● In the Mac OS Print dialog (PCL3 driver): go to the Paper Type/Quality panel and select Color, then select Print In Grayscale. ● On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Color > Color/Grayscale > Print in grayscale. See also Print a black-and-white photo for an exhibition (Photoshop, PS driver) on page 85. Print with no margins Printing with no margins (to the edges of the paper) is known as borderless printing. This can be done only on rolls of glossy or satin paper. In order to be sure of leaving no margins, the printer prints slightly past the edges of the paper. Any ink deposited outside the paper is absorbed by the sponge situated in the platen. NOTE: If you wish to print with no margins, you must ensure that your image will fill the page. If your image is smaller than the page, it will not be automatically stretched. You can request printing with no margins in the following ways: ● In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab and press the Margins/Layout button. Then select Borderless. TIP: In the Windows PostScript driver, make sure you have made the right choice from the Document size list. You should select a 'no margins' document size when using the Borderless option. ● In the Mac OS Page Setup dialog (PostScript driver): select a paper size name that includes the words "no margins". Then, in the Print dialog, select Finishing > Layout > Borderless. ● In the Mac OS Page Setup dialog (PCL3 driver): select a paper size name that includes the words "no margins". Then, in the Print dialog, select Paper Type/Quality > Layout > Borderless. ● On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Advanced settings > Paper > Layout/Margins > Borderless.

If you print your 16-bit color images through a printer driver, they will be reduced to 8-bit colors before
they reach the printer.
In order to send a 16-bit color image to the printer, you must save it as a 16-bit color TIFF or JPEG file,
then send the file directly to the printer without using a printer driver (see
Using the Embedded Web
Server to print files
on page

). In this case, color management is done on the 16-bit color image, and
is therefore done more accurately. The image is still reduced to 8-bit colors for final printing.
TIP:
Some applications refuse to save a 16-bit color image in JPEG format; others automatically
reduce it to 8-bit colors. A TIFF file generally gives a higher-quality result, and is recommended.
