You can adjust the Mode setting
to fine-tune the colors in your printout or turn off color
management in your printer software.
If you select Automatic as the
Mode setting, you can choose from
these options:
- Charts and Graphs
- Intensifies colors and lightens the midtones and highlights of
an image.
- EPSON Standard (sRGB)
- Increases the contrast in images.
Note: This is the
standard mode for most photos and documents when not using an ICC
profile.
- Adobe RGB
- Matches image colors to the Adobe RGB color standard. Use this
setting if your source file was captured in Adobe RGB.
If you select
Custom as the
Mode setting, you can choose from
these options:
- Color Controls
- Lets you select a Color Mode
setting, individual settings for Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Density, and individual color tones. Depending
on the selected color mode, you can also adjust the midtone density
using the Gamma setting.
- PhotoEnhance
- Lets you choose from various Scene Correction settings to
automatically analyze your photos.
Note: PhotoEnhance
uses a sophisticated face recognition technology to optimize photos
that include faces. For this to work, both eyes and the nose must
be visible in the subject's face. If your photo includes a face
with an intentional color cast, such as a statue, you may want to
turn off PhotoEnhance to retain the
special color effects.
- ICM
- Automatically adjusts colors based on the printer’s ICC profile
and the selected Media Type setting,
using the Image Color Matching system. Click the Advanced button to choose the input profile and
other settings.
Note: In most
cases, you get better results by applying color management in your
application, rather than in the printer driver.
- Off (No Color Adjustment)
- Turns off color management in your printer software so you can
manage color using only your application software.
Note: An ICC
profile is required if color management is turned off.
