photographic printing. Select
Black only if you’re printing line drawings
or other non-photographic images.

Mode option as follows:
• Click Automatic to have the printer driver analyze the contents of
your image or file and make the appropriate printing adjustments. If
a
Quality/Speed slider appears in the Mode box, set it according to
the priorities of your print job.
• Click Custom and then choose one of the settings shown at the left.
The two
Advanced Photo settings let you print at either 1440 dpi
(
Advanced Photo) or 2880 dpi, the highest resolutions available.
The
Text/Graph setting intensifies colors and lightens the midtones
and highlights for non-photographic output.

cases, you will get better results by applying color management in
your application, rather than in the printer driver.
