>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
Affects RGB data only.
ICM is the colour management system built into Windows.
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these profiles describe the colours that your device is capable of reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the Colour Management tab of the printer driver.
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the colour profiles may already be associated with the driver.
To associate ICC Colour Profiles with the printer driver:
1.Access the printer settings via the Start menu.
