Saturation
The best option for reproducing vivid images. Use this setting
for presentation graphics, such as charts and graphics.
Colorimetric
The best option when precise matching of colors is most
important, for example, when printing a company logo.
Keep in mind that Colorimetric, or any other color
matching method, may not always reproduce colors
perfectly due to differences in the way scanners, printers,
and other devices process color data. See Appendix A,
‘‘Tips for Color Printing,’’ for more information.
Halftoning
Use the Halftoning settings to achieve the results described
below.

Select
No Halftoning
when printing black-and-white text
only. This option is only available when black ink is
selected.
q
Select
Error Diffusion
to make edges and colors softer when
printing photographic images. Error diffusion blends every
colored dot in your image with the surrounding colored
dots.
q
Select
Fine Dithering
for images with significant detail but
limited shading, such as presentation graphics. Dithering
arranges dots in orderly patterns and is best suited for
printing charts, graphs, and other images that require
precise, solid areas of bright colors.
Flip Horizontal
This feature flips the image 180° along its vertical axis. Printed
images and text appear backwards.
