Rendering Intents are only used when "Postscript Colour
Matching" is selected.
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the
document's colour space to the printer colour space. The
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine
how this colour conversion takes place.
Select the option desired.
Absolute Colorimetric
Matches colours common to both devices exactly, and clips the
out of gamut colours to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries
to print white as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is
often very different from paper white, so this may result in
colour casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image.
Auto
The best default selection, as this selects the optimal settings
for a general office environment.
Perceptual
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall
appearance of an image. This may change the overall
appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.
Relative Colorimetric
Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer.
Best for solid colours and tints.
Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the
source white to the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute
Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into
account.
Saturation
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours if you
don't necessarily care how accurate the colours are. This
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams
etc. Maps fully saturated colours in the source gamut to fully
saturated colours in the printer's gamut.
