HP ColorSphere toner
HP designs the print system (printer, print cartridges, toner, and paper) to work together to optimize print
quality, product reliability, and user productivity. Original HP print cartridges contain HP ColorSphere toner
that is specifically matched to your printer so that it will produce a wide range of brilliant colors. This helps
you create professional looking documents that contain sharp, clear text and graphics and realistic printed
photos.
HP ColorSphere toner produces print-quality consistency and intensity you can depend on across a wide
range of papers That means you can produce documents that help you make the right impression. Plus,
HP professional-quality everyday and specialty papers (including a wide variety of HP media types and
weights) are designed for the way you work.
HP ImageREt 3600
ImageREt 3600 provides color laser-class equivalent to a 3600 dots-per-inch (dpi) press through a multi-
level printing process. This process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a single dot
and by varying the amount of toner in a given area. ImageREt 3600 has been improved for this product. The
improvements offer trapping technologies, greater control over dot placement, and more precise control of
toner quality in a dot. These new technologies, coupled with HP's multi-level printing process, result in a 600
x 600 dpi printer that provides 3600-dpi color laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the software printer menu or
from the printer driver.
Color options
Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which provides
optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer
driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best
print quality for each object.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer
driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a common
color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices (printers and
plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide
Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows monitor and is the
convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance of
colors on your screen. For more information, see
