ENDERING INTENTS
When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other
profile apart from [Auto], you can select the Rendering Intent.
The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine
how colors that fall outside of the printable colors are treated.
Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are
printing.
P
ERCEPTUAL
This option is recommended for printing photographs.
Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colors when
printing. This brings unprintable colors into the printer's range,
while keeping the relationships between the colors the same.
S
ATURATION
This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you
want vivid colors. This will not necessarily produce accurate
color, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.
R
ELATIVE COLORIMETRIC
This option is best for printing solid colors and tints. Use Relative
Colorimetric when printing from a drawing program such as
Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand.
A
BSOLUTE COLORIMETRIC
This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your
MFP that are intended for final output on a printing press. This
may result in a visible color cast on your print as it will also try to
simulate the paper white of the target device.
