Printing Photos in Grayscale

You can print color photos in grayscale photos.

  2. Select the Grayscale Photo checkbox in the Printer Settings window.

    Important
     
    • When you select the Grayscale Photo checkbox, all the selected images will be printed in grayscale.
       
    Note
    • When Photo Paper Pro II or Fine Art "Photo Rag" is selected for Media Type, click Color Adjustment... to open the Color Adjustment dialog box in which you can adjust the black color tone. See Help for details.
       
  3. Click Print.
     

    The Print dialog box appears.

  4. Click OK.

Important
 
  • White streaks may appear at the top and bottom edges of grayscale photos printed in Letter, A4 or 8"x10" 20x25cm size. In that case, print with a 45 mm or more margin at the top and bottom edges.
     

    If you select Bordered (Margin 45) for Layout, images will be reduced to allow a 45 mm margin at the top and bottom edges when printing.

  • If the print result after adjusting the color balance in the Color Adjustment dialog box is different from the preview image, print a color pattern and adjust the colors based on the pattern.

    Note
     
    • Select Print in ALL Directions to print a pattern of the image adjusted in the following six directions. (The image with the current color balance values is printed in the center.) Use the pattern to determine the color direction in which you want to adjust the color balance.

      :

      Red

      Y (upper) direction

      :

      Yellow

      G (upper left) direction

      :

      Green

      C (lower left) direction

      :

      Cyan

      B (lower) direction

      :

      Blue

      M (lower right) direction

      :

      Magenta



      If Grayscale Photo was selected, choose Custom in the Tone dropdown list to get specific printing direction options.


       
    • Select a specific direction such as Print in Direction R to print a pattern of the image adjusted in the selected direction. (The image with the current color balance values is printed at the bottom left.) For example, select Print in Direction R to print a more detailed pattern of the portion in the R direction of the pattern for all directions (the portion outlined in red in the figure below). This allows you to check more variations than in all directions.
