Figure 2-27 System Settings folder – Print Density pane (2 of 2)
The Print Density pane 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.
●
Shadows. Shadow colors are colors near solid density. To make shadow colors darker, use a
positive shadow setting. To make shadow colors lighter use a negative shadow setting. This
adjustment does not affect highlight or midtone colors.
●
Restore defaults. Resets factory defaults for the Print Density settings on the product.
