Intent Explanation
Saturation Keeps the current saturation unchanged and converts the data.
Perceptual Converts the data so that a more visually natural image is produced.
This feature is used when a wider gamut of color is used for image data.
Relative
Colorimetric Converts the data so that a set of color gamut and white point (or color
temperature) coordinates in the original data match their
corresponding print coordinates. This feature is used for many types of
color matching.
Absolute
Colorimetric Assigns absolute color gamut coordinates to the original and print data
and converts the data. Therefore, color tone adjustment is not
performed on any white point (or color temperature) for the original or
print data. This feature is used for special purposes such as logo color
printing.
