appearance of an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.
>Saturation
Best choice for printing bright & saturated colours if you don't necessarily care how accurate the colours are. 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 onscreen. 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; i.e. 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 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.
