Consistent, accurate colour with

HP Color Technology

Automatic colour calibration

Improved automatic colour calibration features include new measurement algorithms and methods to achieve even better colour stability and repeatability. The result is excellent colour uniformity and print quality that are consistent over time.

Advanced toner formula

Chemically grown toners have small particles that are more uniform and spherical than traditional manufactured toners, resulting in fine detail on printed images, bright saturated colours and a good ability to match the screen (sRGB colour).

Vertical in-line architecture

Applying toner directly to the media rather than via a transfer belt or drum produces sharp text quality.

Precise edge control

Edge enhancements deliver excellent print quality and comprise of three components:

1. ColorREt—Smoothes edges by intelligently changing the size and position of the dots that make

up the edge of a solid object.

2. Adaptive halftoning—Increases the edge smoothness of text and graphics while maintaining

the quality of filled areas.

3. Trapping—Overlaps one colour to an adjacent colour to reduce the effect of colour plane misregistration.

PANTONE

®1

_{colour matching}

Uses solid inks to generate a wide range of colour hues and tints that match the PANTONE®1_system.

Neutral gray treatment

Select the neutral grey treatment of either black-only for rich sharp black lines, or 4-colour process greys for richer greys and blacks that blend smoothly with surrounding colours.

Optimised for HP Glossy Photo & Imaging Laser Paper

HP Color LaserJet 5550 printer series HP High Gloss (Images) mode is optimised for HP Glossy Photo & Imaging Laser Paper, with unique colour rendering tables that increase the glossiness, richness and depth of printed images.
