Image Quality: Changing the Contrast (Tone Curve)
Select a tone curve in the printer driver, and then print.
• Function Introduced in This Section
Tone Curve is a function to adjust brightness and contrast by controlling the input-output density curve for each of CMYK colors.
Once tone curves adjusted in various conditions are registered in the image controller, those registered tone curves can be called and applied at the time of printing.
Using Color Centro allows tone curve adjustment and registration to the image controller. (Refer to Image Quality: Adjusting the Tone Curve.)
