Turning off all color corrections
If you do not want to use any TekColor color corrections, you can specify no corrections from a supported driver, or with utility files, or from the printer's front panel. Select None when you are doing the following:
Printing the brightest colors and a truer blue
The Vivid Color option is the best choice for typical office printing. This option also makes printed blue appear less purple by reducing the amount of magenta used to print blue colors. Other colors in the cyan-blue-purple- magenta range in the image are also adjusted to compensate for the adjusted blue. Colors in the red-orange-yellow-green range are not affected. This selection is good for making presentation graphics, such as overhead transparencies, and for bright-looking colors that don't need to match the screen's colors or printing press colors.
Vivid Color adjusts CMYK colors using a method that adds black to other components. This option prints more saturated (darker) colors and may be useful for printing overhead transparencies for presentations from some applications, such as CorelDRAW!. Use this option if you have specified a color in the CMYK system, and the color has a black component, and the color appears lighter than you expected when printed.
The Simulate Display option makes printed colors approximate the colors on a standard display screen. This selection should improve the screen-to-printer color accuracy for most applications that don't perform their own color corrections. This selection is best for applications that define colors as RGB (red, green, blue), HLS (hue, lightness, saturation), or HSB (hue, saturation, brightness).
There are three printing press color correction options. Each press option conforms to a different printing standard. Use a press option if you are previewing work for a four-color job to be printed on a printing press. These options simulate a four-color commercial printing press, not solid spot colors, such as PANTONE Colors.
Note: If you are selecting PANTONE Colors in your application, use
the None option; see Turning off all color corrections for details.
Also, use the None option with other color management systems,
such as EfiColor.
Printing press color corrections
The Monochrome option prints your color image as a monochrome gray scale (shades of gray between black and white). Use this option to print page masters for photocopying in black-and-white.
The Use Printer Setting option is available only in the supported drivers. This option sends no color correction information to the printer. It uses the current default in the printer to process colors for printing. The printer's default can be one of the following:
Using simple color conversions
The following utility files use Adobe's standard color conversions to tell the printer what type of output device you want it to simulate:
