Color Matching Settings

EPSON Color Controls

Lets you manage color using controls in your printer driver or turn off color management.

Color Options Settings

EPSON Vivid

Processes colors to create standard hues. Click the Advanced Color Settings tab to use advanced color controls.

Adobe RGB

Matches image colors to the Adobe RGB color standard. Use this setting if your source file was captured in Adobe RGB. Click the Advanced Color Settings tab to use advanced color controls.

Manual Settings

Lets you select manual color adjustments. Click the arrow next to Advanced Settings and select settings for Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and individual color tones. You can also select a color Mode setting for printing photos and graphics and the Fix Red-Eye setting to reduce or remove red-eye in photos. Depending on the selected color mode, you can also adjust the midtone density using the Gamma setting.

Fix Photo

Improves the color, contrast, and sharpness of flawed photos. Click the arrow next to Advanced Settings and select the Fix Red-Eye setting to reduce or remove red-eye in photos.

Note: Fix Photo 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 Fix Photo to retain the special color effects.

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.
