What is color feel?

Definition

With the [Color feel] setting you can fine-tune the look and feel of the printed output.

The [Color feel] setting defines the color space conversion method.

[Color feel]

Description

[CAD colors]

Use this setting to get a print with bright, saturated colors.

Advised for vector drawings (like HP-GL).

All primary and secondary colors are clean, because they are printed with pure inks. This is clearly visible if you look at the color yellow that is printed with yellow ink only.

An increase in coverage results in (almost) the same increase in ink.

The blue color is not purplish but nice blue.

This mode is preferred for CAD drawings created with applications like AutoCAD or ArcView.

Photos printed in this mode will look dull and grayish.

[Graphics colors]

Use this setting to get a print with photo-realistic colors.

Advised for photos or graphic art presentations.

If you select [Graphics colors] you can also adjust the advanced Color Management settings.

  • [Graphics colors: RGB input color profile]

  • [Graphics colors: CMYK input color profile] (only for TIFF and JPEG files or for PostScript and PDF files)

  • [Graphics colors: Grayscale input color profile] (only for PostScript and PDF files)

  • [Graphics colors: rendering intent]

[None, managed by application]

Use this setting if your color management is completely done by the application that generated the print file.

If color management is not handled correctly by the application, possible problems are:

  • - blue will be purplish (like in most inkjet printers)

  • - raster-file information (like photos) will look dull and dark.
