• Absolute Colorimetric
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc.
Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out
of gamut colors 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 color casts,
especially in the lighter areas of an image.
• Relative Colorimetric
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. Much
like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to
the (usually) paper white. Unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this
attempts to take the paper white into account.
CMYK Ink Simulation
Affects CMYK data only.
This option simulates what the output will look like on a printing
press using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Toyo. If using CMYK
Ink Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer
Color Matching. Select the No Color Matching option under the
Color Match option in the printer driver.
Windows ICM Color Matching
Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP only. This affects RGB data only.
ICM is the color management system built into Windows.
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these
profiles describe the colors that your device is capable of
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the
Color Management tab of the printer driver.
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the color
profiles may already be associated with the driver.
To associate ICC Color Profiles with the printer driver:
Access the printer settings via the
