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 colors are shifted together.

Saturation

Best choice for printing bright & saturated colors if you don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer's gamut.

Relative Colorimetric

Good for proofing CMYK color 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.

Absolute Colorimetric

Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc. Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of gamut colors 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 color casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image.

c.Color Control = Using ICC Profile

This option provides a method of matching RGB colors similar to Windows ICM matching. See “OKI “Using ICC Profiles” feature: PostScript driver only” on page 176.
