TekColor correction descriptions
The following options are available.
Note
TekColor color corrections do not affect colors specified in the
PostScript Level 2 international color standard CIE XYZ,
developed by the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage
(International Commission on Illumination).
Automatic: General all-purpose printing
The Automatic (default) option is the best choice for most ofÞce printing.
This mode optimizes the color quality on each page. The printer
automatically applies the appropriate color correction for each element (text,
graphics, photographs) for the best reproduction.
Vivid Color: Printing the brightest colors and a truer blue
The Vivid Color option makes printed blue appear less purple by reducing
the amount of magenta used to print blue colors. Other colors are also
adjusted to compensate for the adjusted blue. This selection also increases
contrast, making the output appear brighter. Use this selection for
presentation graphics, such as overhead transparencies, and for
bright-looking colors that donÕt need to match the screenÕs colors or printing
press colors.
Also use this option if you have speciÞed a color in the CMYK system, and
the color has a black component, and the color appears lighter than you
expected when printed. Vivid Color adjusts CMYK colors using a method
that adds black to other components. This option prints more saturated
(darker) colors and may be useful for printing overhead transparencies.
