and brightness. Corrects for overall under- or
over-exposure of the original image.
Vivid Intensifies colors and lightens the midtones and

non-photographic images.
Custom print mode
Setting Usage

Prevents the misprinting of ink dots that may occur
because of the movement of the print head and
paper. Available only when you choose photo or
photo-quality media types.

and highlights. Best for print jobs with non-
photographic images.
ColorSync Adjusts colors based on your printer’s ICC profile,
