Set Color Mode to Linear Tone

While maintaining the highest and lowest brightness of the same color, the printer prints an image with subtle differences between them. Linear Tone mode enables fine adjustments such as the ones through application software to reflect faithfully in a printout. If printed colors appear too saturated or dark, try changing the Color Mode setting to Linear Tone on the Manual Color Adjustment page of the driver.

Note: The Color Mode selection is only available when Color Correction is set to Driver Matching.
