Perceptual Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut into the printer's gamut while 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. Color Simulation This affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer environments only. This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan. If using CMYK Ink Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer Color Matching by selecting the No Color Matching option under the Color Match option in the printer driver.
