HP ImageREt 2400
ImageREt 2400 provides 2400 dots-per-inch (dpi) color laser-class quality through a multi-level
printing process. This process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a single
dot and by varying the amount of toner in a given area. ImageREt 2400 has been improved for this
printer. The improvements offer trapping technologies, greater control over dot placement, and more
precise control of toner quality in a dot. These new technologies, coupled with HP's multi-level
printing process, result in a 600 x 600 dpi printer that provides 2400-dpi color laser-class quality with
millions of smooth colors.
In contrast, the single-level printing process found in the default mode of other color laser printers
does not allow the colors to be mixed within a single dot. This process, called dithering, significantly
hinders the ability to create a wide range of colors without reduced sharpness or visible dot structure.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, it is important to select the appropriate media type from the
software printer menu or from the printer driver. See
for more information.
Color options
Color options enable optimal color output automatically for diverse types of documents.
Color options use object tagging, which allows optimal color settings to be used for different objects
(text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects are used on a
page and uses color settings that provide the best print quality for each object. Object tagging,
combined with optimized default settings, produces great color from the printer without having to
establish any special settings.
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 was originally developed by HP
and Microsoft 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 that is used for HP
products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software that is sold
today. The sRGB standard is representative of the typical Windows computer monitor and is the
convergence standard for high-definition television.
