Printing Monochrome Photos
Use the Advanced B&W Photo mode of the printer driver. Whether the image data is monochrome or
color, you can print high quality monochrome photos.
Using the auto mode, you can print with your preferred tint just by selecting the tone, but if you use the
advanced settings screen, you can print richly tonal monochrome photos without having to adjust the
image in an application. Next we explain the settings screen for printing monochrome photos.
Advanced settings for printing monochrome photos
A
Open the printer driver window (Windows) or the Print dialog (Mac OS X).
Note:
The Advanced B&W Photo mode may not be supported depending on the printer model.
Tips:
Some models allow you to choose between matte black ink and photo black ink to ensure the best black for the paper.
Since the paper types selectable with matte black ink and photo black ink are different, if necessary change the type of
black ink.
Note:
❏
Even when you are printing in monochrome, ink for all colors as well as black is consumed during printing and
cleaning.
❏
If you use this function from an application that has color management functions such as Adobe Photoshop, you
must turn off the color management function in the application.
See “Turn off the color management function of the application” on page 36.
