RENDERING INTENTS When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other profile apart from [Auto], you can select the Rendering Intent. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how colors that fall outside of the printable colors are treated. Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are printing. PERCEPTUAL This option is recommended for printing photographs. Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colors when printing. This brings unprintable colors into the printer's range, while keeping the relationships between the colors the same. SATURATION This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you want vivid colors. This will not necessarily produce accurate color, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation. RELATIVE COLORIMETRIC This option is best for printing solid colors and tints. Use Relative Colorimetric when printing from a drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand. ABSOLUTE COLORIMETRIC This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your printer that are intended for final output on a printing press. This may result in a visible color cast on your print as it will also try to simulate the paper white of the target device. C9600 Printing Guide> 61
