Imaging
Color Correction
The Color Correction feature alters the colors in an image in order to print it
properly. It attempts to match the colors of the original image to the printer's
colors. ICM is Microsoft's Image Color Management, the standard for Windows.
The following options are available in the Color Correction dialog box:
None (application corrected)
With this option, color data processes without applying the adjustments
contained in the printing system's internal color lookup tables. Ink simulation
will not be executed. This is useful if the application provides its own color
correction.
ICM (system corrected)
This option specifies color rendering in the print job to make it as close to the
original as possible. ICM technology relies upon associating an output
device like a printing system with a Color Profile. An ICM Profile for a printing
system contains information about rendering accurate color information for
that device. The settings for ICM must be set in the Color Management tab in
the printing system Properties.
Selecting Color Correction
In Printer profile, the Advanced option provides some methods for controlling
how the printer processes color matching.
1 From Printer profile, select Advanced. The Color Correction dialog box
appears.
If you select the None (application corrected) option, click OK to close the
Color Correction dialog box.
If you select the ICM (system corrected) option, click ICM Settings, and
proceed to step 2.
2 In the ICM Settings dialog box, select a Rendering intent option, then click OK
to save the selection.
Optimize for exact color (Colormetric)
This option is for matching colors precisely in all print jobs, such as colors in
a corporate logo.
Optimize for color contrast (best for images)
This option optimizes for color contrast by adjusting contrast to preserve
detail throughout the tonal range. Select it for images or scanned
photographs containing many colors or shades of color.
Optimize for color saturation (best for graphs)
This option optimizes for color saturation by adjusting hue to preserve the
vividness of pure colors. Select for graphs or charts containing solid colors.
3 Click OK again to close the Color Correction dialog box.
Setting a Default Color Profile in Windows XP
When using the ICM (system corrected) feature in the Color Correction dialog
box, you can set a color profile for your printing system.
