Setting description
Setting options
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting (available for the HP Color
LaserJet 3000 and 3800 Series printers only)
determines the method for creating gray colors used
in text, graphics, and photographs.
●
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using
only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color
cast.
●
4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining
all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients
and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are
rendered. Edge control has two components:
adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning
increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the
effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping
the edges of adjacent objects slightly.
HP Color LaserJet 3000 and 3800 Series printers:
●
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive
halftoning is on.
●
Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium
level and adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Light sets trapping at a minimal level, and adaptive halftoning is
on.
●
Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
HP Color LaserJet 3600 Series printer:
●
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting.
●
Normal sets the trapping at a medium level.
●
Light sets trapping at a minimal level.
●
Off is the default trapping setting. Trapping is turned off.
RGB Color (HP Color LaserJet 3000 and 3800 Series
printers only)
●
Default (sRGB) instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as
sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accepted standard of Microsoft
and the World Wide Web Consortium
).
●
Image optimization (sRGB) (HP Color LaserJet 3800 Series
printer only) instructs the printer to use the best color matching for
rendering sRGB images. Select this option to print raster objects,
such as .BMP, .TIF, or .GIF files.
●
Adobe RGB (1998) (HP Color LaserJet 3800 Series printer only)
instructs the printer to use the best color matching for documents
or images that are in the Adobe RGB color space that some digital
cameras and high-end graphics programs create. When printing
with Adobe RGB from a professional software program, turn off the
color management in the program and allow the printer software
to manage the color space.
●
None instructs the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode.
You must manage color in the program in which you are working
or in the operating system in order to render photographs correctly
when this option is selected.
●
Custom Profile instructs the printer to use a custom input profile
to more accurately predict and control color output. Download
custom profiles from
