User Manual

• [Absolute colorimetric]
The exact colors that are within the gamut of the printer are kept, even the colors near the
white point. Prints white areas with a light background. The out-of gamut colors are mapped to
colors on the border of the printer gamut. Details, continuity and contrast in colored areas can
be lost due to the mapping.
This setting is useful to map spot colors and it is useful to make proof prints.
• [Relative colorimetric]
The exact colors that are within the gamut of the printer are kept, except the colors near the
white point. Prints white areas perfectly white (no toner or ink is used). The out-of gamut colors
are mapped to colors on the border of the printer gamut. Details, continuity and contrast in
colored areas can be lost due to the mapping.
This setting is useful to make proof prints.
• [Perceptual] (default)
All colors are converted relative to each other, preserving details, continuity and contrast. The
out-of gamut colors are mapped to colors within the printer gamut. Prints white areas perfectly
white (no toner or ink is used).
This setting is useful to print images or photos.
• [Saturation]
All colors are converted relative to each other, preserving saturated colors and pure colors as
much as possible. The out-of gamut colors are mapped to colors within the printer gamut.
Prints white areas perfectly white (no toner or ink is used).
This setting is useful for presentations, line-art, histograms, artist impressions, business
graphics, et cetera.
Use or overrule the embedded profiles
• [Use embedded profiles and DeviceRGB settings] and [Use embedded profiles and
DeviceCMYK settings]
For most objects, color profiles and rendering intents are embedded in the document. Use
these profiles and rendering intents for these objects. However, objects with a color
specification in DeviceRGB or DeviceCMYK have no embedded color profile and rendering
intent. Use the DeviceRGB settings or DeviceCMYK settings in this dialog for the objects that
have no embedded color profile and rendering intent.
• [Overrule embedded profiles with DeviceRGB settings] and [Overrule embedded profiles with
DeviceCMYK settings]
For most objects, color profiles and rendering intents are embedded in the document. Select
this setting to ignore these profiles and rendering intents. Use the DeviceRGB settings or
DeviceCMYK settings in this dialog for all objects.
