Advanced Colour Options:
The
Advanced
Colour Options
provide controls for fine tuning the
colour output of the printer. The card design can de
darkened
,
lightened

brighter

faded
, even specific colour
levels can be adjusted by changing the position of the
colour
strength
sliders.
The
preview
picture
at the top of the window will show the results of
any adjustments.
Note: All colours in an image design are a mixture of red, green
and blue (RGB). So any change in the strength of one of these 3
colours (RGB) will affect every colour that is composed using
the changed colour, so the results may not be as expected; for
this reason it is recommended that colour control and colour
strength sliders remain at their default settings.

allows the customization of some of the
advanced technical
settings
related to
colour correctness
