HP ImageREt 2400
HP ImageREt 2400 is a technology that provides the best color print quality without having to
change printer driver settings or make trade-offs between print quality, performance, and
memory. ImageREt 2400 produces photorealistic images.
HP ImageREt 2400 has been improved for this printer. The improvements offer trapping
technologies, even greater control over dot placement, and more precise control of toner
quality in a dot. These new technologies, coupled with HP's multilevel printing process, result
in a 600-by-600 dpi printer that provides 2400 dpi color laser-class quality with millions of
smooth colors.
Paper selection
For the best color and image quality it is important to select the appropriate paper type from
the software printer menu or from the printer control panel. See
Selecting paper .
Color options (available for the hp color LaserJet 3700 series
printer)
Color options automatically enable optimal color output for diverse types of documents.
Color options use object tagging, which allows optimal color and halftone 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 halftone and color settings that provide the best
print quality for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized default settings,
produces great color out of the box.
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 world-wide color standard 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 used
for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software
sold today. The sRGB standard is representative of the typical Windows PC monitor today
and the convergence standard for high-definition television.
