Select a color theme from the Color Themes drop-down list.
●
Default (sRGB)
: This theme sets the product to print RGB data in raw device mode. When using this
theme, manage color in the software program or in the operating system for correct rendering.
●
Vivid (sRGB)
: The product increases the color saturation in the midtones. Use this theme when
printing business graphics.
●
Photo (sRGB)
: The product interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital
mini lab. The product renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than with the Default
(sRBG) theme. Use this theme when printing photos.
●
Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)
: Use this theme with printing digital photos that use the AdobeRGB color
space rather than sRGB. Turn off color management in the software program when using this
theme.
●
None
: No color theme is used.
●
Custom Profile
: Select this option to use a custom input profile to accurately control color output
(for example, to emulate a specific HP Color LaserJet product). Download custom profiles from
www.hp.com
