Modifying Output Color
Introduction
The previous chapters of this manual have been concerned with
giving an overview of the color printing process, choosing color
modes, and using palettes. This portion of the manual explains how
color can be modified to produce a desired result, from using halftone
render algorithms to change the way color is rendered, to selecting a
color treatment and finish mode. The HP color printers can modify
colors using the following means:
• Halftone render algorithms provide a way to modify images
based on a dither cell concept. The algorithm chosen
determines how specified colors are “rendered” as dots on the
printed page.
• The Monochrome Print Mode command converts each color to
its grayscale equivalent for faster, draft printing.
• The Driver Configuration command provides a way to select a
color treatment.
• The Finish Mode command allows the user to specify the
finish, matte or glossy, to be applied to the document.
All of these methods of modifying output color are explained in the
following sections.
