Figure 2-27 HP ToolboxFX Print Density screen
The Print Density screen contains the following settings:
●
Contrasts. Contrast is the density difference between light (highlight) and dark (shadow) colors.
To increase the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a negative highlight
adjustment and a positive shadow adjustment), use a positive contrast setting. To decrease the
difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a positive highlight adjustment and a
negative shadow adjustment), use a negative contrast setting.
●
Highlights. Highlight colors are colors near white. To make highlight colors darker, use a positive
highlight setting. To make highlight colors lighter, use a negative highlight setting. This adjustment
does not affect midtone or shadow colors.
●
Midtones. Midtone colors are about halfway between white and solid density. To make midtone
colors darker, use a positive midtone setting, and to make midtone colors lighter, use a negative
highlight setting. This adjustment does not affect highlight or shadow colors.
