Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:
● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) using only black toner. This
guarantees neutrals colors without a color cast.
● 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors.
This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it
produces the darkest black.
Edge Control. The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control
has three components: adaptive halftoning REt, and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases
edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by overlapping
the edges of adjacent objects slightly. The color REt option increases the apparent
resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges.
Four levels of edge control are available:
● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on for this
setting.
● Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level and adaptive
halftoning and color REt is on.
● Light sets trapping at a minimal level, and adaptive halftoning and color REt is on.
● Off turns off trapping, adaptive halftoning, and color REt.
RGB Color. Two values are available for the RGB Color setting:
● Default instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as sRGB. sRGB is the accepted
standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Organization (www).
● Vivid instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones so that colored
objects appear more colorful. Printed blues and greens will likely appear darker than on
your monitor. This option is good for business graphics or for producing colors similar to
the HP Color LaserJet 4550.
● Device instructs the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render
photographs properly with this selection, you must manage image color in the
application or operating system.
Note
HP Color LaserJet 4550 series Color Emulation can be accessed though the Print Task
Quick Sets in the printer driver.
