Set the rendering intent

Rendering intent is one of the settings used when doing a color transformation. As you probably know, some of the colors you want to print may not be reproducible by the printer. The rendering intent allows you to select one of four different ways of handling these so–called out–of–gamut colors.

●Saturation (graphics): best used for presentation graphics, charts, or images made up of bright, saturated colors.

●Perceptual (images): best used for photographs or images in which colors blend together. It tries to preserve the overall color appearance.

●Relative colorimetric (proofing): best used when you want to match a particular color. This method is mainly used for proofing. It guarantees that, if a color can be printed accurately, it will be printed accurately. The other methods will probably provide a more pleasing range of colors but do not guarantee that any particular color will be printed accurately. It maps the white of the input space to the white of the paper on which you are printing.

●Absolute colorimetric (proofing): the same as relative colorimetric, but without mapping the white. This rendering is also used mainly for proofing, where the goal is to simulate the output of one printer (including its white point).

The rendering intent can be specified in the following ways:

●Using a Windows PostScript printer driver: select the Color tab, then Rendering intent.

●Using a Mac OS printer driver: select the Color Options panel, then Rendering intent.

●Using the Embedded Web Server: select the Submit Job page, then Rendering intent.

●Using the front panel: select the icon, then Default printing options > Color options > Select rendering intent.
