SETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS

1.

On the 

Colour

 tab select 

Manual

 for Colour Matching.

2.

Choose from the available 
options:

(a)

Monitor (6500k) 
Perceptual

Optimised for printing 
daylight photographs.

(b)

Monitor (6500k) Vivid

Optimised for printing bright colours. Good for office 
graphics.

(c)

Monitor (9300k)

Optimised for printing photographs when using a 
professional graphics monitor.

(d)

Digital Camera

Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital 
camera. This tends to produce prints with lighter and 
brighter colours. For some photographs, other settings 
may be better depending on the subjects and the 
conditions under which they were taken.

(e)

sRGB

Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a 
company logo colour. The colours within the printer's 
colour gamut are printed without any modification, and 
only colours that fall outside the printable colours are 
modified.
