When [Off] Is Selected

The color background or figure is printed so that the part behind the black text or graphics is left blank, and then the black text or graphics are printed on the blank part.

* When you select [Off], the black print may appear faint, or a white border may remain around the edges of the black text or graphics.

When [On] Is Selected

The color background or figure is printed, and then the black text or graphics are printed on top.

Select [sRGB] when you are using an sRGB-compatible monitor. This setting adjusts the colors to the industry-standard image quality for ordinary Windows monitors, so that the printed colors match those shown on the monitor.

To ensure no loss in the brightest and darkest areas of the data, set a value from [Gamma 1.5] to [Gamma 2.4]. A larger value produces a darker print.

To convert to CMYK data when no RGB input profile is applied, select [None].

To print with color tones close to the Japanese standard, select [JapanColor(Canon]. The JapanColor profile is applied.

To print with color tones close to the US standard, select [US Web Ctd(Canon]. The US Web Coated profile is applied.

To print with color tones close to the European standard, select [Euro Standard]. The Euro Standard profile is applied.

To print without applying a CMYK simulation profile, select [None]. CMYK data is printed using a device-dependent CMYK color model. Depending on the data, some gradations of dark colors may not be reproduced.

To use a profile downloaded to the machine, select [Download Profile]. Up to 100 profiles can be stored.

IMPORTANT

When the machine receives data that includes a device-independent (CIE based) color space definition, the color processing is performed according to that definition. The machine does not apply the profile specified for this item.

When the machine receives a device-dependent color space definition in which color processing was performed on a computer, the profile specified for this item is also applied.

NOTE

You can download profiles using the device management software resource plugins.

If you download a profile with the name of None, that profile cannot be used. The [None] setting is applied instead.
