color space
Color space defines the range of colors that can be printed. The printer software
translates the colors of your document from their current color space to the color
space selected.
The following color spaces are available:
● sRGB/sYCC
● Adobe RGB
sRGB/sYCC
sRGB/sYCC is an appropriate color space for most print jobs. It is used for most Web-
based documents and current imaging devices.
Follow these steps to use the sRGB/sYCC color space:
1. Open the
Printer Properties dialog box.
2. Select the Color tab.
3. Select sRGB/sYCC from the Color Space drop-down list.
4. Select any other desired
print settings, then click OK.
Adobe RGB
Adobe RGB is an emerging color space that offers more colors than sRGB/sYCC, but
which only works for images.
When printing from a professional application using Adobe RGB, turn off the color
management in the application and allow the printer software to manage the color
space.
Follow these steps to use the Adobe RGB color space:
1. Open the
Printer Properties dialog box.
2. Select the Paper/Quality tab, the select the following:
❍ An HP photo paper from the Type is drop-down list.

5. Select any other desired print settings, then click OK.
If the the Adobe RGB color space is used for an image which was created in another
color space, then printed colors may appear more vivid.
