Setting Details
Photo Black (Bk)
This selection is best suited for printing photographs due to its
superior color reproduction capabilities.
Matte Black (MBk)
Due to its high density, this ink is ideal for printing line drawings,
or any type of document created with a CAD system.
•
The type of media that can be selected for printing depends on the
ink type specification.
•
If the black ink selected for
Ink Type
does not match the ink type of
the tank actually loaded in the printer, the printer will issue an alert on
the printer operation panel. You must then decide whether to execute
or stop the print job.
•
To achieve the best possible results in printing, stop the print job
when the message appears on the operation panel, and then
perform the settings so the
Ink Type
selection and type of black ink
tank in the printer are the same.
Color Matching
Setting Details
Saturation
This item does color matching with priority on saturation.
Perceptual
(Photographic)
This item does color matching with priority on color tones to reproduce
the best results in printing photographic images.
Colorimetric
This item places priority on reducing the differences between the color
tones you seen on the computer screen and those you see in the
printout, so the printout more closely resemble the colors of the
original (a color logo, for example).
