What are Rendering intents?

Definition of rendering intents
Normally the color space of a print file is larger than the Océ ColorWave 600 color 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 intent setting decides what qualities of
the image it should prioritize. The rendering intent setting preserves one property of
color at the expense of other color properties.
