Canon Pro9500 Driver Settings For Print Quality

This post is mainly for my own use so I know where I can find this information as I tweak my new printer, but anyone else with a Canon Pro9500 may find it helpful too. The information below is from Canon's website.

Print Quality and Image Data Adjustments: The Pro9500 allows you to make the following adjustments to your documents and photos:

* Print Quality: select High or Standard

* Halftoning Method: halftones refer to color shades between the darkest color and the brightest color, the printer replaces the color shades with a collection of small dots to express the halftones; select from the following halftoning methods:
o Dither: arranges the dots according to fixed rules to express the halftones
o Diffusion: places the dots randomly to express the halftones
o Auto: data is printed with the optimal halftoning method for the selected print quality

* Monochrome: adjust the grayscale so you are printing a monochrome print

* Tone: when printing in black & white, set tone to cool, standard, or warm

* Color Correction: specifies the color adjustment method that matches the type of document to be printed; suitable for printing sRGB data

* Color Balance: adjusts the color tints during printing, since this function adjusts the output by changing the ink ratios of each color, it changes the color hues of the entire document

* Intensity: dilutes (brightens) or intensifies (darkens) the colors of the overall image data during printing

* Contrast: changes the differences between light and dark in images during printing

* Brightness: changes the overall brightness of the image data you wish to print

* Simulating an Illustration: print full-color or 256-color image data so that it looks like a hand-drawn illustration, this function adds different effects to the original profile and colors

* Single Color: select your monochrome photo be printed in one of the following colors - Sepia, Blue, Pink, Green, or customize using the Select Color feature

* Vivid Color: print image data with vivid colors, specifically green and blue, while skin tones remain natural

* Smoothing Jagged Outlines: smooth jagged outlines in photos and graphics that have been enlarged with your application, especially useful when printing low-resolution images from Web pages

* Color Properties: the Photo Optimizer Pro function allows you to adjust colors of images input from a digital camera or scanner; compensates for color shift, overexposure and underexposure

* Photo Noise Reduction: reduce the digital camera noise and improve the images quality of the digital print
