Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded
in the printer firmware. The Halftone options, Smooth and Detail, affect the resolution and clarity of
your color output.
● Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth area
fills.
● Detail. This option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or
colors, or for images that contain a pattern or high level of detail. Select this option for sharp edges
and detail.
The following table lists the lines per inch (lpi) for each resolution and halftone setting for the HP Color

RGB Color
The RGB Color settings affect the color treatment for object types and determines how colors are
rendered. The options are Default (sRGB), Vivid, Device, and Photo/Image.
● Default (sRGB). This option interprets RGB color space (sRGB), which is the accepted standard
for many software companies and organizations such as Microsoft and the Worldwide Web
Consortium. Default (sRGB) is the default setting for all components.
● Vivid. This option sets the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful
objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.
NOTE This setting uses the SRGB color table for the HP Color LaserJet 2550 product.
