Error Diffusion
is best for photographic images. It creates
colors by randomly distributing dots, making edges and
colors softer. Printing these images takes longer, but it
produces the best print quality for photographs.
❑
ColorSync
automatically adjusts the color range to better
match printing results with the colors displayed on your
monitor. Select
ColorSync
when printing scanned
photographs or computer graphics. You must have
ColorSync 2.0 installed on your computer and it must be
enabled. Additionally, the application you are using must
support ColorSync 2.0.
The ColorSync 2.0 feature is available only with the settings
shown below.
Media Type Printing Mode
Coated Paper - 360 dpi Best - 360 dpi
Coated Paper - 720 dpi Super - 720 dpi
HQ Glossy Paper Super - 720 dpi
If your software lets you create your own color profile, you
can use it instead of the one of the three driver profiles. The
driver profiles are in the System Preferences ColorSync
Profiles folder. They are named as follows:
StylusCOLOR500 720C_ED_720 (for 720 dpi coated paper
with Error Diffusion); StylusCOLOR500 360C_ED_360
(for 360 dpi coated paper with Error Diffusion); and
StylusCOLOR500 HQG_ED_720 (for high-quality glossy
paper with Error Diffusion).
To use one of your own profiles instead, you need to save it
with one of the driver profile names above. However, since
you do not want to permanently replace the driver profile,
first rename it with another name or move it to another
folder so you can restore it later. Then save your profile
with the appropriate driver profile filename.
