Manage color by changing the settings on the Color tab in the printer driver.
Automatic
Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents.
The  Automatic  color adjustment option optimizes the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge
enhancements for each element in a document. For more information, see your printer driver online
Help.
NOTE: Automatic  is the default setting and is recommended for printing all color documents.
Print in Grayscale
Select the Print in Grayscale  option from the printer driver to print a color document in black and white.
This option is useful for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed.
When  Print in Grayscale  is selected, the product uses the monochrome mode, which reduces use of
the color cartridges.
Manual color adjustment
Use the  Manual color adjustment option to adjust the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge
enhancements for text, graphics, and photographs. To gain access to the manual color options, from
the  Color  tab, select  Manual, and then select Settings .
Manual color options
Use manual color options to adjust the  Neutral Grays, Halftone , and Edge Control  options for text,
graphics, and photographs.

Setting descriptionSetting options
Halftone
Halftone options affect the color output resolution
and clarity.● Smooth
 provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas
and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select
this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the top priority.
● Detail
 is useful for text and graphics  that require sharp distinctions
among lines or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high
level of detail. Select this option when sharp edges and details are
the top priority.
Neutral Grays
The  Neutral Grays setting determines the method for
creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and
photographs. ●
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using
only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color
cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs.
● 4-Color
 generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining
all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients
and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.

Setting descriptionSetting options
RGB Color
●Default (sRGB) instructs the product to interpret RGB color as
sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accepted standard of Microsoft
and the World Wide Web Consortium (
http://www.w3.org
).
● Photo (sRGB)
 interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a
photograph using a digital mini-lab. It renders deeper, more
saturated colors differently than Default (sRGB) mode. Use this
setting for printing photos.
● Photo (AdobeRGB 1998)
 is for digital photos that use the
AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. When printing from a
professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is
important to turn off the color management in the software program
and allow the product to manage the color space.
● None
 sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To
render photographs correctly when this option is selected, you
must manage color in the program in which you are working or in
the operating system.
● Custom profile
 increases the color saturation in the midtones.
Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. You can
download custom profiles from

							Match colors
The process of matching product output color to your computer screen is quite complex because printers
and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels
using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers  print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor. These factors
include:
● Paper
● Printer colorants (inks or toners for example)
● Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology for example)
● Overhead lighting
● Personal differences in perception of color
● Software programs
● Printer drivers
● Computer operating system
● Monitors and monitor settings
● Video cards and drivers
● Operating environment (humidity for example)
Keep the above factors in mind when colors on your screen do not perfectly match your printed colors.
For most users, the best method for matching colors on your screen to your product is to print sRGB
colors.
Sample book color matching
The process for matching product output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is
complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to create
the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as process color
sample books.
Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many of
these spot colors are outside of the range of the product. Most spot color sample books have companion
process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.
Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book. In
most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process sample
book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the product menu. If you cannot identify the process
standard, use SWOP ink emulation.
Printing color samples
To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use the
sample’s color value in your software program to describe the object you wish to match. Colors may
132 Chapter 9   Use color ENWW
 
						

							vary depending on paper type and the software program used. For more details on how to use the color
samples, go to 
www.hp.com/support/cljcm3530mfp.
Use the following procedure to print color samples at the product using the control panel:
1. Touch  Administration  and then touch  Information.
2. Touch  Sample pages/fonts  and then touch CMYK samples or RGB samples  to print the samples.

							Advanced color use
The product provides automatic color features that generate excellent color results. Carefully designed
and tested color tables provide smooth, accurate color rendition of all printable colors.
The product also provides sophisticated tools for the experienced professional.
HP ColorSphere toner

quality, product reliability, and user productivity. Original HP print cartridges contain HP ColorSphere
toner that is specifically matched to your printer so that it will produce a wide range of brilliant colors.
This helps you create professional looking documents that contain sharp, clear text and graphics and
realistic printed photos.
HP ColorSphere toner produces print-quality consistency and intensity you can depend on across a
wide range of papers That means you can produce documents that help you make the right impression.

on all supported media, and under a variety of environmental conditions.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the software printer menu
or from the printer driver.
Color options
Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which
provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page.
The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that
provide the best print quality for each object.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual  color options are on the  Color tab in the printer
driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a
common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices
(printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems,
134 Chapter 9   Use color ENWW
 
						

							the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows
monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE:Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance
of colors on your screen. For more information, see 
Match colors on page 132.
The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop®, CorelDRAW®, Microsoft Office, and many other programs
use sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space in Microsoft operating systems,
sRGB has been adopted broadly. When programs and devices use sRGB to exchange color information,
typical users experience greatly improved color matching.
The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the product, the computer monitor,
and other input devices automatically, and eliminates the need to become a color expert.
