Printing the brightest colors and a truer blue
The Vivid Color option 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 minimally affected. This selection
is good for applications that do not need to simulate a printing press. It is also good
for making presentation graphics, such as backlit media or transparencies.
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 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.
