Page Size - Select the Page Size that you want to print the swatch with.

 

Copies - Select the number of copies.

 

Orientation - Select [Landscape] or [Portrait]. [Landscape] is generally used because it reduces media waste.

 

Print Reflected - Select this check-box to print a mirror-image of the swatch. This option is useful when printing on backlit or transparency media.

 

Print Label - Select this check-box to print a text label after the image. You may wish to use [Print Label] to record what settings the swatch was printed with.

 

OutputOutput is the physical image produced by your printer. Output quality mainly depends upon the color (accurate, reproducible, pleasing), and clarity (resolution, dot placement, etc.) of the print on the desired medium (e.g. glossy photo, film, canvas). - Select the type of output you want printed

• ColorThe attribute of visual experience that can be described using the dimensions of Hue, Saturation, and Brightness.: This option will print your image with the color setup defined the media.
• Separations: Select this option if you want a different image printed for each color channel.

 

Click [Print] to print the swatch, or [Cancel] to close this dialog without printing.

Use up-down arrow or type a value for each numbered section for getting the best represented color without artifacts (bleed, raised or embossed appearance, picture framing, cracking, media wrap, glossing, or hazing), or potential frying time concerns if you use a take- up roll (Figure 3).

After setting ink limits and reprinting the ink limit swatch, review [D] and [E] sections. If you notice areas of color reduction in the wheels, increase the corresponding values of the [Black] and [Chromatic] sliders to fill in these areas. Increase of 15 for [D] and 5 for [E] are good starting points. Likewise, decrease the corresponding values if you notice areas of ink oversaturation (Figure 3).

 

The [D] slider adjusts the amount of ink used relative to the K channel which is not affected by the ink limit. The [E] slider performs a similar function for the CMY Gray component.

 

NOTE: It is recommended to let MediaA paper or other substrate that the printer creates images on. Manager automatically calculate these settings. However, it may tend to be too high when profiling a higher resolution mode.
