HP 1600 - Manual (Page 98)

The Color Settings dialog box gives you independent control of the following settings:
● Text
● Graphics
● Photographs
● General
Text, Graphics, and Photographs sections
Use these sections to control the Neutral Grays setting for each control.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is
embedded in the printer firmware. The options are Black Only or 4-Color. You can adjust the Neutral
Grays setting independently for Text, Graphics, or Photographs.
● Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This
option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default setting for
the Text and Graphics components.
● 4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces
smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible
black. 4-Color is the default setting for Photographs.
General
Use the General setting group to control the Edge Control, Halftone, and RGB Color settings for all
color printing.
Edge Control
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of two components:
Adaptive Halftoning and Trapping. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces
the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects.
The Edge Control option offers the following settings:
● Off turns off Trapping and Adaptive Halftoning.
● Normal provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.
● Maximum provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.
