Color management Illustrator CS uses the Adobe Color Engine (ACE) as its core color-transform technology, also used by Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat which can all share the same color settings files. ACE gives you more precise color matching as your content moves across applications during the production process. If you are using color management, you will have already turned it on in this document by selecting Color Settings from the Edit menu. Print Space Profile: Choosing Same As Source prints using the document's current color profile so no color conversions will be performed. PostScript Color Management means colors will be managed at the level of the printer. The other profiles print using the named destination profile. Intent: Specifies the rendering intent to use when converting colors to the destination profile space. For details about Color Management in Illustrator CS, see "About color management" in the User Guide. Advanced Print as Bitmap: Use this option when printing documents that contain complex objects (such as objects with smooth shading or gradients) on a low-resolution, non-PostScript printer. Although the print speed may be diminished, the possibility of error messages is reduced. Overprint and Transparency Flattener Options: For details on this subject, see "Preparing Illustrator files for print."

Color management
Illustrator CS uses the Adobe Color Engine (ACE) as its core color-transform technology,

files. ACE gives you more precise color matching as your content moves across applications
during the production process. If you are using color management, you will have already
turned it on in this document by selecting Color Settings from the Edit menu.
Print Space Profile:
Choosing Same As Source prints using the document’s current color
profile so no color conversions will be performed. PostScript Color Management means
colors will be managed at the level of the printer. The other profiles print using the named
destination profile.
Intent:
Specifies the rendering intent to use when converting colors to the destination profile
space.
