[Color pre-sets]
A color pre-set is a collection of color and quality settings that matches a specific document type,
workflow or color application. The drop-down list contains the available color templates of the
selected printer. When the printer is not available, the color templates cannot be loaded. In this
case, the default templates are loaded.
You can change the settings of the selected color pre-set for the current job only. You cannot
save your changes. See
Custom color pre-sets on page 171.
This setting is not available for all printer models.
Custom color pre-sets
You can change the settings of the selected color pre-set for the current job only. You cannot
save your changes. You have to use the Settings Editor of the printer to create new color pre-sets.
[Name]
If you change a setting of the selected color pre-set in this dialog, the name changes into
[Custom]. You can use the custom color pre-set only for the current job. You cannot save your
changes.

[Halftone for images], [Halftone for text/lines] and [Halftone for graphics]
These settings define the halftone screening for images, text/lines and graphics. You are advised
to use the default option.
• [Fine]
• [Normal]
• [Error diffusion]
Error diffusion is a type of halftoning in which the quantization residual is distributed to
neighboring pixels that have not yet been processed. Its main use is to convert a multi-level
image into a binary image, though it has other applications.
[Spot color matching]
A spot color in a document is defined by a color name and an alternative color specification. The
printer uses the color name to match with the closest color of the printer. The colors of the printer
are defined in color libraries on the printer.
• [Yes] (default)
Match the document colors with the color library of the printer
• [No]
Use the alternative color specification
[Color mapping group]
You can select a color mapping group to apply color transformations to the image colors. Color
mapping re-maps the image values to be suitable for printing purposes. You can select a color
mapping group for RGB, CMYK or spot color to re-map the images to a spot color.
