Changing the Overall Lightness/Darkness of a Print
You can change the overall lightness/darkness of a print by adjusting the amount of
ink used in your prints.
The feature is called Lightness and affects both grayscales and colors.
Dark Normal Light
The effect is exaggerated in these drawings.
As this is a simple way to change the appearance of your print, you can achieve
better results if you use your software for different effects. However, some
examples of situations where you may find the feature useful are:
Where a tracing paper produces better print quality when the printer uses a
smaller volume of ink.
Where a small variation in the amount of ink used produces a significant change
in the apparent darkness or color saturation of an image.
Where you want to reduce the drying time required: for example, for glossy
media in extremely humid conditions. (If you need to make a global change to
drying times for extreme environmental conditions, refer to page 3-22.)
