– 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 colors are shifted
together.
– Saturation
Best choice for printing bright & saturated colors if you don't
necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes
it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams
etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source gamut to fully
saturated colors in the printer's gamut.
– 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; i.e. unlike
Absolute Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white
into account.
– 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.
c. Color Control = Using ICC Profile
This option provides a method of matching RGB colors similar
to Windows ICM matching. See "Using the ICC Profiles
Feature: PostScript Driver Only" on page 166.
d. Color Control = No Color Matching
Use this option to switch off all printer color matching.
e. Color Control = Print in Grayscale
This option prints all documents as monochrome.
