Printing the brightest colors and a truer blue
The Vivid Color option makes printed blue appear less purple by reducing
the amount of magenta used to print blue colors. Other colors in the
cyan-blue-purple- magenta range in the image are also adjusted to
compensate for the adjusted blue. Colors in the red-orange-yellow-green
range are not affected. This selection is good for making presentation
graphics, such as overhead transparencies, and for bright-looking colors that
don’t need to match the screen’s colors or printing press colors.
Vivid Color adjusts CMYK colors using a method that adds black to other
components. This option prints more saturated (darker) colors and may be
useful for printing overhead transparencies for presentations from some
applications, such as CorelDRAW!. Use this option if you have specified a
color in the CMYK system,
and the color has a black component, and the
color appears lighter than you expected when printed.
Simulating display screen colors
The Simulate Display option makes printed colors approximate the colors
on a standard display screen. This selection should improve the
screen-to-printer color accuracy for most applications that don’t perform
their own color corrections. This selection is best for applications that define
colors as RGB (red, green, blue), HLS (hue, lightness, saturation), or HSB
(hue, saturation, brightness).
