For this article, we’re going to post the following steps on how you can adjust the color setting of your HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP or fix the colors on your page which do not match your screen or if you are not satisfied with the colors on your print job.

Steps to Adjust the Color Settings via HP Support Center:

• Step 1 - Choose the Print option from your software application.
• Step 2 - Within the Print Dialog Window, click Properties or Preferences.
• Step 3 - Click the Color tab.
• Select the Color Themes drop-down list.
• Default (sRGB): This theme sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. When using this theme, manage color in the software program or in the operating system for correct rendering.
• Vivid: The printer increases the color saturation in the midtones. Use this theme when printing business graphics.
• Photo: The printer interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini lab. The printer renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than with the Default (sRBG) theme. Use this theme when printing photos.
• Photo (Adobe RGB 1998): Use this theme with printing digital photos that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. Turn off color management in the software program when using this theme.
• None: Sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs correctly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating system.
• Select the Color Options .
