You can select color printing explicitly in the following ways:
● In your application program: Many programs provide this option.
● In the Windows driver dialog: Go to the Color tab and look at the Output Color or Color Options section
(whichever is available in your driver). Select Print in color.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Go to the Color Options panel and select Color from the Mode drop-down list.
Printing in grayscale
You can convert all colors in your image to shades of gray in the following ways:
● In your application program: Many programs provide this option.
● In the Windows driver dialog: Go to the Color tab and look at the Output Color or Color Options section
(whichever is available in your driver). Select Print in grayscale.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Go to the Color Options panel and select Grayscale from the Mode drop-down
list.
Printing in pure black and white
You can convert all colors in your image to pure black and pure white in the following way:
● In the Windows driver dialog: Go to the Color tab and look at the Output Color or Color Options section
(whichever is available in your driver). Select Print in pure black and white.
HP Professional PANTONE Emulation
When you use a named PANTONE color in an image, your application will normally send to the printer a CMYK or
RGB approximation to that color. But the application does not take the printer or the paper type into account, it
merely produces a generic approximation of the PANTONE color, which will look dierent on dierent printers and
on dierent papers.
HP Professional PANTONE Emulation can do a much better job by taking into account the characteristics of the
printer and the paper type. The results look as similar to the original PANTONE colors as is possible on a given
printer using a given paper type. This technology is designed to produce emulations similar to those set up
manually by prepress professionals.
To use HP Professional PANTONE Emulation, all you have to do is to turn it on. In fact, it is normally on by default.
● In the Windows PostScript/PDF driver dialog: Go to the Color tab and select HP Professional PANTONE
Emulation.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Go to the Color Options panel and select HP Professional PANTONE Emulation.
● From the front panel: Tap , then Printing preferences > Color options > HP Pantone Emulation.
HP Professional PANTONE Emulation not only provides the closest match that can be achieved on your printer; it
also gives clear information on how close the emulation is to the original spot color.
Default color spaces
When a document or image does not specify the working color space in which the content is originally described,
the user can choose among dierent standards. That is, the user can determine how data should be interpreted
by the color management system during the rendering process.
