218 Appendix A—Setting Parameters
Gradation
¾ Select one of the following options:
• None: The printer applies maximum dry ink coverage. This is
the default setting.
• Cool: Blue tones appear clearer
• Lively: Increases the color saturation
• Saturated: Increases the strength (chroma or purity )
• Sharp: Increases the contrast
• Warm: Sets the hues in the low densities to a bright reddish
color
The Gradation parameter contains a list of gradation tables that
were created in the IC-304 print controller Gradation Tool window.
Each gradation table contains specific settings for brightness,
contrast, and color balance.
When you select your predefined gradation table, your job is
adjusted according to the specific table’s settings.
Ink Saving
GCR
¾ Select Yes to conserve toner by replacing the gray component
(CMY) of pixels with black toner.
The gray component replacement also prevents the consequences
of excessive toner buildup, such as flaking and cracking, or the
"curling" effect that may occur when printing transparencies.
While the gray component of each color is replaced by black, there
is no change in the color quality of the printed image.
Identify black
¾ Select this check box if you want RGB gray text and graphics
to be printed with black toner only.
The Identify black check box not only affects R=G=B values, but
may also cause slightly different values
(R+/-4=G+/-4=B+/-4) to produce gray.
