Monitor (9300k)
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a colour temperature of 9300K.
Digital Camera
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colours. For some photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects and the conditions under which they were taken.
sRGB
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company logo colour.
The colours within the printer’s colour gamut are printed without any modification, and only colours that fall outside the gamut (set of) printable colours are modified.
POSTSCRIPT COLOUR MATCHING
This uses PostScript Colour Rendering Dictionaries built into the printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.

When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the document’s colour space to the printer colour space. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this colour conversion takes place.
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed below:
>Perceptual
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall appearance of an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.
