Digital Camera
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colours. For some
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects
and the conditions under which they were taken.
sRGB
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company logo
colour.
The colours within the printer's colour gamut are printed without any
modification, and only colours that fall outside the gamut (set of)
printable colours are modified.
POSTSCRIPT COLOUR MATCHING
This uses PostScript Colour Rendering Dictionaries built into the
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.
Rendering Intents
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.
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed below:
>
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.
>
Saturation
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours, but less
accurately matched. 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.
