Halftone options
Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings
for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.
● The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth
area fills are top priority.
● The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or
colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option when sharp
edges and details are top priority.
NOTE Some software programs convert text or graphics to bitmap images. In these cases,
setting the color options for Photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method used for creating gray colors that are used in text,
graphics, and photographs.
Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:
● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) 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 non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest
black.
NOTE Some software programs convert text or graphics to raster images. In these cases,
setting the color options for Photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.
