HP Designjet 4500 Printer series - Manual (Page 173)

In the Color tab (Windows) or Color Options panel (Mac OS), you have the following Color
Management options. Select the same option that you selected in the Print dialog box above (Print
Space section, Profile option).
● sRGB: this is the default color space. The input RGB data are converted to CMYK using the
printer's internal color maps, which depend on the paper type and print quality selected. These
are the most “versatile” color maps, producing saturated colors for CAD and office applications
and also producing good results with photographic images.
● AdobeRGB: similar to sRGB, but using the AdobeRGB to CMYK internal color maps, which are
designed for AdobeRGB input data with a bigger source gamut. Best suited to digital
photography.
● Managed by Application: the driver will not perform any color correction. This path can be
used when building custom RGB printer profiles and applying them within the application (the
application is responsible for applying the right color management by using the custom RGB
printer profiles). In this case, make sure that you have selected the right media profile in the
"Print Space, Profile" option in the application print command (see above).
