Define the [Image] settings

[Resolution] 

The resolution that you can select depends on the printer.

[Colour management] 

Colour management is the controlled conversion between the colour representations of the document in the application to the Postscript file.

• [No colour management] 

  Disable colour management and use any embedded colour profiles in the document.

• [Printer colour management] 

  The colour profiles of the printer are used to convert the colours.

• [Printer colour profile] 

  Select a colour profile. The profile is used to convert the colours.

[Overprint simulation] 

By default, when you print opaque, overlapping colours, the top colour knocks out the area underneath. Overprinting prevents knockouts and makes the topmost overlapping printing ink appear transparent in relation to the underlying ink.

This setting is used by Adobe Acrobat.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Use PDF output intent] 

The PDF output intent describes how you plan to print the entire document.

If the file contains device independent colours, the output intent provides data which defines how the colour data must be printed. The output intent provides all the information required to ensure that the file can be printed consistently, even when device independent colour data is used.

[Enhanced colour rendering] 

Colour rendering relates to the colour appearance of printed colour pages under a given light source. You can select:

• [Printer default] 

  Use the colour rendering algorithm of the selected printer.

• [On] 

  Use the colour rendering algorithm of this application.

• [Off]

[Colour bar] 

You can add a colour bar to the printed pages. The drop-down list contains the available colour bars of the selected printer. You can define the location and the alignment of the colour bar.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Information bar] 

You can add an information bar to the printed pages. The drop-down list contains the available information bars of the selected printer. You can define the location and the alignment of the information bar.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Trapping] 

Printer misregistration can cause gaps between colours on the printed pages. You can enable [Trapping] to compensate for potential gaps between colours.

[Trapping pre-sets] 

A trapping preset is a collection of trap settings you can apply to pages in a PDF. The drop-down list contains the available [Trapping pre-sets] of the selected printer.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Image smoothing] 

[Image smoothing] blends adjacent colours in an image to make colour transitions less noticeable. Use this setting when the printer resolution is higher than the image resolution.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Fattening] 

You can apply [Fattening] to the text and lines of the document. You can select:

• [Printer default] 

  Use the fattening algorithm of the selected printer.

• [On] 

  Use the fattening algorithm of this application.

• [Off] 

  Disable fattening.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Minimum line width] 

Select this option to print all lines with a minimum line width. This option ensures that all lines are visible in the printed document. You can select:

• [Printer default] 

  Use the minimum line width of the selected printer.

• [Fine] 

• [Normal] 

• [Off] 

  Disable option [Minimum line width]. Thin lines might not be printed in the document.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Halftone] 

Select the [Halftone] setting.

A halftone image is made up of a series of dots rather than a continuous tone. Larger dots are used to represent darker, more dense areas of the image, while smaller dots are used for lighter areas.

As long as the resolution of the image is high enough, the dots appear as a continuous image to the human eye.

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Brightness] 

You can overrule the defined [Brightness] settings in the document, without losing the original [Brightness] settings.

• [Printer default] 

• [Custom] 

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Contrast] 

You can overrule the defined [Contrast] settings in the document, without losing the original [Contrast] settings.

• [Printer default] 

• [Custom] 

This setting is not available for all printer models.

[Colour pre-sets] 

The drop-down list contains the available colour templates of the selected printer.

When the printer is not available, the colour templates cannot be loaded. In this case, the default templates are loaded:

• [Black and white mode] 

  Select this template for black and white documents.

• [Office documents] 

  Select this template for documents that contain low quality images. For example, graphs.

• [Photographic content] 

  Select this template for documents that contain high quality images. For example, photos.

You can define custom colour pre-sets. See Colour settings.
