Matching Mode Description Remarks
Driver Matching Mode Enables printing of optimal color tones
using a driver specific color profile.
You should normally select this mode.
ICC Matching Mode Enables color matching using ICC pro-
files.
Select this if you want to print by specify-
ing the input profile, printer profile, and
matching method in detail.
This allows you to use ICC profiles for dig-
ital cameras and scanners, ICC profiles
created using the profile creation tool, etc.
Host ICM Mode Enables color matching by the host com-
puter using the ICM function of Win-
dows.
Select this if you want to print from an
application that supports the ICM func-
tion.
Available when using Windows.

ColorSync function of Mac OS.

proofing using ColorSync before printing.
Available when using Mac OS.
To select ColorSync, choose ColorSync

Matching Method Description Remarks
Auto Color-matching optimized for images,
graphics, or text.
The available options and their display or-
der vary depending on your selected col-
or-matching mode, as well as the operat-
ing system.
Perceptual Color-matching optimized for printing
typical photos attractively. Smooth gra-
dation is a feature. This is also an easy-
to-use mode when performing color ad-
justment using application software.
Colorimetric Color-matching optimized for printing im-
age data with accurate colors in input
color space. This is the easiest-to-use
mode when you want to adjust the color
and print. However, gradation may be
lost for colors of wider range than the
color reproduction range of the printer.
Generally, this is also called relative col-
orimetric.
Colorimetric (No Wht-pnt Corr) The processing method of color-match-
ing is identical to Colorimetric. Use this
when you want to further reproduce the
target paper material color of the image
data. Generally, this also is called abso-
lute colorimetric
Saturation Color-matching optimized for printing
posters, etc., vividly.
For instructions on color adjustment, refer to the following topics, as appropriate for your operating system.
