Image Quality:
Print image quality on the Lexmark C762 was,
for virtually all business purposes good. Color
photographs reproduced well, with flesh tones
evenly applied and natural-looking, but a little
dull, even when printed on expensive glossy
media.
Color registration was good, with no
noticeable color overlap. Fine monochrome
line details printed very well, with no traces of
colors evident in greyscales.
High resolution Photoshop images
reproduced accurately albeit flat. Users
looking to produce in-house publications may
find the matt appearance less attractive than
some competing units with glossier
appearance. PowerPoint presentations
printed well, with bright colors and no visible
distortion, which will put the device in good
stead in the general office market where
standard business presentation/sales
documents will often be the main requirement
of the device. Text printed legibly to 4 point
size.
Color Controls:
Color controls vary according to which printer
driver is being used. The PostScript 3 driver
(illustrated below) lets users select from a
number of color options, including the ability
to manually set color contrast, color balance
and color matching. Toner darkness can be
manually set, and ColorSaver (which applies
less color to save money on color draft
prints).
Using RGB options, PostScript users can set
images, text and graphics color corrections
individually or as a set. Using CMYK options
allows users to set controls for images, text
and graphics at once. Options include Vivid
CMYK, Euro CMYK and US CMYK.
The PCL5c driver also allows manual color
controls to be set, though RGB images, text
and graphics choices are limited to Printer
Setting, sRGB Display, sRGB Vivid, Vivid and
Off.
