COLOUR PRINTING > 135
>Saturation
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours, but less
accurately matched. This makes it the recommended choice for
graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colours in
the source gamut to fully saturated colours in the printer’s
gamut.
>Absolute Colorimetric
Best for printing solid colours and tints, such as Company
logos etc. Matches colours common to both devices exactly,
and clips the out of gamut colours to their nearest printed
equivalent. Tries to print white as it appears on screen. The
white of a monitor is often very different from paper white, so
this may result in colour casts, especially in the lighter areas of
an image.
>Relative Colorimetric
Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer.
Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the
source white to the (usually) paper white. Unlike Absolute
Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into
account.
CMYK INK SIMULATION
Affects CMYK data only.
This option simulates what the output will look like on a printing press
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Toyo. If using CMYK Ink
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer
Colour Matching. Select the No Colour Matching option under the
Colour Match option in the printer driver.
WINDOWS ICM COLOUR MATCHING
Windows98, Me, 2000 and XP only. Affects RGB data only.
ICM is the colour management system built into Windows.

profiles describe the colours that your device is capable of
