Setting Item
Setting Value
Setting
[Matching Mode]
[ICC Profile], [Gamma]
Set whether to perform color matching or to perform color correction by setting a gamma value.
[ICC Profile Settings]
[RGB Source Profile]
[Text]: [sRGB v3.0 (Canon)], [Canon HDTV gamma 1.5], [Canon HDTV gamma 1.8], [Canon HDTV gamma 2.4]
[Graphics]: [sRGB v3.0 (Canon)], [Canon HDTV gamma 1.5], [Canon HDTV gamma 1.8], [Canon HDTV gamma 2.4]
[Image]: [sRGB v3.0 (Canon)], [Canon HDTV gamma 1.5], [Canon HDTV gamma 1.8], [Canon HDTV gamma 2.4]
Select a suitable profile for RGB data that matches the monitor that you are using.
When it set to [sRGB v3.0 (Canon)], it is set to the industry standard image quality for general Windows (PC) monitors.When using monitors that support sRGB, it can match the colors displayed on the monitor and the colors printed in the printer and print colors close to the colors displayed on the monitor.
When it is set to [Canon HDTV gamma X.X], it adjusts the brightness of the printed result so that the brightest and darkest parts of the data are not lost. Set it to adjust the brightness, such as when the print result is brighter than the colors displayed on the monitor. The larger the gamma value, the darker it is printed.
[Output Profile]
[Text]: [Normal], [Photo]
[Graphics]: [Normal], [Photo]
[Image]: [Normal], [Photo]
You can define suitable profiles for data that you are trying to print.
When it is set to [Normal], it matches with colors close to the colors displayed on the monitor, and prints.
When it is set to [Photo], it matches with colors similar to photographs, and prints.
[Matching Method]
[Text]: [Perceptual], [Saturation], [Colorimetric]
[Graphics]: [Perceptual], [Saturation], [Colorimetric]
[Image]: [Perceptual], [Saturation], [Colorimetric]
Specify the printing method when [RGB Source Profile] is applied. You can select color rendering style on the machine, as shown below.
When it is set to [Perceptual], it provides colors suitable for printing photos and bitmap images.
When it is set to [Saturation], it provides colors suitable for printing artwork and graphs for use in presentations.
When it is set to [Colorimetric], it reproduces as accurately as possible the RGB color values that are within the machine's color gamut.
[Gamma Settings]
[Gamma Correction]:
[Text]: [1.0], [1.4], [1.8], [2.2]
[Graphics]: [1.0], [1.4], [1.8], [2.2]
[Image]: [1.0], [1.4], [1.8], [2.2]
It adjusts the brightness of the printed result so that the brightest and darkest parts of the document are not lost. The larger the setting value, the darker it is printed. [1.4] shows no correction.
[Photo Corr (CL Only)]
[Photo Optimizer PRO]
[Off], [On]
Set whether to correct image contrast, color balance, saturation, and gradation automatically and print.
If [Color Mode] is set as [Black], the setting for this item becomes invalid.
[Red-Eye Correction]
[Red-Eye Correction]: [Off], [On]
[Red-Eye Correct. Lv.]*2: [Weak], [Standard], [Strong]
Set whether to detect and correct red eye caused by flash or strobe light when shooting and print.
When [Red-Eye Correction] is set to [On], set the red-eye correction strength.
If [Color Mode] is set as [Black], the setting for this item becomes invalid.
[Face Brightener]
[Face Brightener]: [Off], [On]
[Face Brightener Lv.]*2: [Weak], [Standard], [Strong]
Set whether or not to correct and print photographs in which people's faces are dark due to insufficient backlighting or underexposure so that the entire image is brightened and the people's faces are the preferred brightness.
When [Face Brightener] is set to [On], set the correction strength for brightening the entire image.
If [Color Mode] is set as [Black], the setting for this item becomes invalid.
[Halftones]
[Error Diffusion]
[Off], [On]
Specify the halftone display method when printing. When [Error Diffusion] is set to [On], it uses error diffusion that excels at subtle expression of text and fine lines. It is suitable for printing small text or particularly fine lines.
[Resolution/Grad.]*
[Text]: [Resolution], [Gradation]
[Graphics]: [Resolution], [Gradation]
[Image]: [Resolution], [Gradation]
When [Error Diffusion] is set to [Off], you can select the halftone display method from [Resolution] and [Gradation] using [Resolution/Grad.].
[Resolution] allows you to print in fine detail so that the edges of text data can be seen clearly. It is suitable for printing data containing text and fine lines.
[Gradation] allows you to perform printing that combines smooth gradation with edge quality. It is suitable for printing graphics or graphs that use gradation.
[Gray Compensation]
[Text]: [Off], [On]
[Graphics]: [Off], [On]
[Image]: [Off], [On]
When printing in color, for RGB equivalent, set whether to print in black (K) toner only to print in CMYK 4-color toner.
When it is set to [On], black and gray data is printed in black (K) only. This can prevent color registration errors.
When it is set to [Off], it is printed with CMYK 4-color toner. The gradation of dark colors is reproduced more faithfully than when it is set to [On].
[Advanced Smoothing]
[Advanced Smoothing]: [Off], [Smooth 1], [Smooth 2]
[Graphics]*: [Off], [On]
[Text]*: [Off], [On]
Specify whether to use the smoothing process to smooth the edges of graphics (illustrations created in other applications) or text.
[Smooth 2] is better than [Smooth 1] for performing a smoothing process that provides more smoothing.
You can select what to smooth by switching [Graphics] and [Text]: [On]/[Off].
[Grayscale Conversion]
[Text]: [sRGB], [NTSC], [Uniform RGB]
[Graphics]: [sRGB], [NTSC], [Uniform RGB]
[Image]: [sRGB], [NTSC], [Uniform RGB]
Select the method for converting color print data to grayscale for printing.
When it is set to [sRGB], it calculates the grayscale value using the sRGB standard color conversion method.
When it is set to [NTSC], it calculates the grayscale value using the NTSC standard color conversion method.
When it is set to [Uniform RGB], it takes the average value of the Red, Green and Blue color values as the grayscale value.
If [Color Mode] is set as [Auto (Color/Black)] and [Color], the setting for this item becomes invalid.
