HP ColorSmart II is a set of technologies that enables optimal color 
output automatically for diverse types of documents.

HP ColorSmart II utilizes object tagging and Standard RGB (sRGB) 
color technologies. Object tagging allows optimal color and halftone 
settings to be used for different objects on a page (text, graphics and 
photos). The printer analyzes the page (what objects it contains) and 
intelligently uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print 
quality for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized default 
settings, produces great color out of the box.

In the Windows environment, you will find the HP ColorSmart II 
Automatic and Manual settings on the Color tab in the printer driver.

Vivid Color allows print to have a higher color saturation by putting more 
toner on the page, however, this may cause high potential for scatter.

Screen Match (sRGB) (standard red-green-blue) prints colors that are 
close to those you see on your screen. Screen Match can be useful for 
retouching photographs or when you have created colors on your 
screen that you wish to reproduce, such as special colors for a 
company logo. 

Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room’s lighting 
can affect the appearance of colors on your screen. 

The Print in Grayscale option in the printer driver allows you to print 
documents using shades of gray in place of colors. This option is ideal 
for printing proofs of color documents, or for printing documents that will 
later be faxed or photocopied.
