Change the palette settings
You cannot change the Factory palette, but you can define Palettes A and B to be whatever you choose.

Perform color calibration
Color calibration improves color consistency between prints, and from one printer to another.
It is normally performed whenever a printhead is replaced, and whenever a new paper type is introduced
that has not been calibrated yet with the new printhead(s). However, this automatic behavior can be
turned off, and a default color correction used for each of the known paper types.

saturated colors.
●Perceptual (images): best used for photographs or images in which...
