Rendering Styles - Minolta Color PAGEPRO EX Manual

Color management on the Color PagePro Ex
Non-PostScript RGB data is converted using a general under-color-
removal conversion method. Non-PostScript RGB data does not
contain source color space information and so cannot be converted
using a CRD.

Rendering styles

The Rendering Style option is used to specify a CRD for color
conversions. The following table describes the color rendering styles
(CRDs) for Color PagePro Ex software and provides guidelines on
when to use each one. Each color rendering style uses a different
gamut mapping method, such as Photographic or Presentation,
designed for a particular kind of color usage.
Rendering style
Photographic—Preserves tonal relation-
ships in images rather than exact colors.
This rendering style maps out-of-gamut
RGB colors to printable colors in a way that
retains differences in lightness. Color accu-
racy is sacrificed slightly in favor of pre-
senting color relationships in the way the
human eye perceives them. Photographic
rendering typically gives less saturated out-
put when printing out-of-gamut RGB col-
ors than Presentation Color rendering does.
Presentation—Creates bright saturated
colors. This rendering style does not try to
match printed colors precisely to displayed
colors but instead provides vibrant, dense
colors. Photographic images, however, are
treated the same way as by the Photo-
graphic rendering style.
OHT (Transparency)—Improves the
correspondence between monitor color and
printed color on transparency paper.
