Color management options
Reproduce colors as accurately as possible on all devices. When you print an image, you see very similar colors to
the image on your monitor.
Color management is highly dependent on the paper type loaded on the printer, so take care to select the correct
preset for the paper type used. The color management options for your printer can be selected from the Color
options section in the Windows driver dialog. In some applications you can make the choice in the application
itself. Consult HP Support Center on page 100 for information about how to use the color management options
in your application.
● Application-Managed Colors: Your application must convert the image colors to the color space of your
printer and paper type, using the ICC prole embedded in the image and the ICC prole of your printer and
paper type.
● Printer-Managed Colors: Your application sends the image to the printer without any color conversion, and
the printer converts the colors to sRGB. This source prole emulates the characteristics of the average
computer monitor. This standard space is endorsed by many hardware and software manufacturers and
has become the default color space for many scanners, cameras, printers, and software applications.
Printer color management is completed using a set of stored color tables. ICC proles are not used. This
method can produce very good results with supported HP paper types.
Printing in grayscale or black-and-white
There are a number of ways to convert all the colors in your image to shades of gray.
● In your application program: Many applications provide this option.
● In the Windows driver dialog: In the Color mode selection, tap Print in Grayscale. Only black ink is used to
print, except if the paper loaded is glossy, in which case colored inks are used to compose the gray shades.
You can also select Print in pure black and white for black and white output only, with no gray shades. In
this case only black ink is used to print. The Print in pure black and white option is not supported when you
print on glossy paper.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Go to the Color Options panel and from the Mode drop-down list, select
Grayscale. Only black ink is used for printing, unless the paper loaded is glossy, in which case the other inks
are used to compose gray shades. You can also select Pure black and white for black and white output only,
with no gray shades. In this case, only black ink is used for printing. The Print in pure black and white option
is not supported when printing on glossy paper.
