Introduction

What is Rendering intents?

Introduction
Normally the color space of a print file is larger than the Océ ColorWave
space. In other words, the input color space is larger than the output color space.
Consequently some of the defined input colors will be outside the Océ ColorWave
600 color space. These "out-of-gamut colors" are called a gamut mismatch.
When a gamut mismatch occurs, the rendering intents setting decides what qualities
of the image it should prioritize. The rendering intents setting preserves one property
of color at the expense of other color properties.
