Profile
Matches the colors in your output with the colors displayed on
your monitor. This software provides one profile, EPSON
Standard, which is custom-designed to work with your printer.
When this option is selected, the printer software uses the
profile provided by EPSON.
Some companies may provide other profiles with their
products. If installed, these profiles will appear in the Profile
list.
Rendering Intent
Transfers the color information using the profile you have
chosen from the Profile list.
Perceptual The best option for reproducing
photographs and printouts that are not
suited for the other options.
Saturation The best option for reproducing vivid
images. Use this setting for
presentation graphics, such as charts
and graphics.
Colorimetric The best option when precise matching
of colors is most important, for
example, when printing a company
logo. Colorimetric attempts to
reproduce colors the way the eye
distinguishes them.
Keep in mind that Colorimetric, or any
other color matching method, may not
always reproduce colors perfectly, due
to differences in the way scanners,
printers, and other devices process
color data. See Appendix A, “Tips for
Color Printing,” for more information.
