Before an RGB image can be printed, the 
file’s color data must be converted to the 
printer’s CMYK color space. Color 
rendering dictionaries apply optimal gamut 
mapping methods to documents that 
contain text, photographs and illustrations. 

The Photographic CRD optimizes the range 
of colors on the printer to produce the best 
results for photographic or bitmapped 
images. 

The Presentation CRD optimizes the output 
of pure, saturated colors such as those 
used in business presentations. 

The Transparency CRD improves the 
correspondence between monitor colors 
and printed color on transparency paper.

 

• Color rendering dictionaries cannot be 

used with CMYK files. 

Color Mode

CMYK/CMY/Grayscale 

(Default: CMYK)

By default your printer is set to print 
documents in color (CMYK). Select 
Grayscale to print documents in grayscale 
or CMY to print using Cyan, Magenta and 
Yellow toner only. This setting allows you to 
print drafts of color images more quickly 
than in CMYK mode. The CMY option is 
only available when the printer’s print 
resolution is set to 600 

 

× 

 

600 dpi. Selecting 

the CMY option applies the Photographic 
CRD to photos, and the Presentation CRD 
to text and illustrations.
