Tips for Printing in Color

setting. If the colors look too dull, try
the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or Digital
Camera settings.
Printing from Microsoft Office
Applications
Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This
may help if you are having problems
with specific colors from applications
such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft
Powerpoint.
Printing Specific Colors (e.g.,
company Logo)
Your printer driver CD-ROM
contains utilities that can help
match specific colors, including:
•Color Swatch Utility
•Color Correct Utility
Adjusting the Brightness or
Intensity of a Print
If the print is too light/dark, use the
Brightness control to adjust it.
If the colors are too intense/not
intense enough, use the Saturation
control.
