The quality of the output is improved, because it does not show artifacts near the edges of the text defined in the

These elements are not affected by the Black to CMYK data and the CMYK Simulation Profile option is ignored. With Windows printer drivers, you can

The CMYK Simulation Profile setting you specify depends on the press standard for which the CMYK data was separated. • For images that were separated using a custom separation (such as a separation produced with an ICC profile), choose the corresponding profile on the CX3641MFP with

The Composite Overprint print option is supported for PostScript and PDF jobs produced by the following applications: • Adobe contains spot colors, Spot-On must be enabled on the CX3641MFP.
