Printing Black and White Photos

You can print black and white photos with rich gradation by adjusting the image data color by the printer driver.

The original data is not affected.

You can correct image data when printing without processing the data from applications.

Note:

It is recommended that you use images with a color space of sRGB.

  1. When using applications featuring a color management function, specify how to adjust colors from these applications.

    When using applications without a color management function, start from step 2.

    Depending on the type of the application, make the settings following the table below.
