Xerox 701P40210 manual System Specified Defaults

Using color tools

For CMYK images, using System Specified (default) rendering is perfectly acceptable. The Saturation intent for CMYK 4x4 LUT is derived from the Relative Colorimetric intent.

In general, use Relative Colorimetric to match a proof. Use the other rendering intents based upon preference.

Object Type		Rendering
Images		Relative Colorimetric
Graphics		Saturation
Text		Pure
	Use Saturation for rendering business graphics
	such as Microsoft Power Point documents, charts,
	graphs, etc.
	Use Perceptual for rendering photographic
	images to achieve a more press-like appearance.
	Use Relative Colorimetric when attempting to
	apply the closest color values in the print engine
	color profile to the input profile, taking into
	consideration the white point of the media. Used
	for color matching such as matching a SWOP™
	proof.
	Use Absolute Colorimetric when attempting to
	apply the closest color values in the print engine
	color profile to the input profile using a standard
	white point. Absolute Colorimetric is used for
	comparing to an absolute value. Highlights tend to
	be washed out and colors appear light using
	Absolute Colorimetric rendering.
	Use Pure for rendering text and line art, as it
	subdues halftone textures to increase the visibility
	of text on colored backgrounds. Pure works best
	with RGB text.
