Driver Matching Mode is selected in the Matching Mode box.
Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]:
Gives priority to matching the hue of the color on the monitor with the
color of the printed output.
Perceptual [Photographic]:
Gives priority to color hue in matching and generates the colors on the
monitor.
Colorimetric:
Gives priority to reducing the color difference between the original
document on the screen (a logo, for example) and the printed output.
Saturation:
Gives priority to vividness in matching.
Colorimetric [No White-point Correction]:
Matching functions the same as Colorimetric but without white correction.
This option can be selected only when Driver Matching Mode or ICM Mode is selected
for Matching Mode.
Specifies the setting suitable for your monitor when the Driver Matching
Mode is selected in the Matching Mode box.
In the case where several gamma values are provided for one option, to obtain better
results select the higher gamma value if the printed image is lighter than that of the
monitor.
If the monitor is set to a custom setting, it is difficult to produce printed output similar to
the color of the monitor when performing matching.
Specifies the gamma correction value when the Gamma Adjustment is
selected in the Matching Mode box.
The brightness of the document printout can be adjusted without losing
the brightest and darkest portion of the document.
This option is useful when the printout result is brighter than the original
image (for example, a photograph before scanning or graphics
displayed on the monitor), or when you want to intentionally change the
brightness of the output.
Four gamma correction values are provided. The larger the value, the
darker the printout is.
