Color Correction Allows you to select Driver Matching, ICC Profile Matching, ICM, or Off to match the purpose of the print operation. Driver Matching Print with the optimal color using the driver's original color profile. Normally, you should choose this mode. ICC Profile Matching Carry out color matching using the ICC profile. Specify the input profile, printer profile and matching method in detail, and select when printing. You can use the digital camera or scanner ICC profile, or the ICC profile created using the profile creation tool. ICM Perform color matching on the host computer using the Windows ICM function. Select when printing from an ICM function-compatible application. Off Print without performing color matching on the printer driver. Select this when performing color matching using applications such as Adobe Photoshop, or printing using a profile creation tool or color chart. Important • When setting not to use ICM in the application software, ICC Profile Matching and ICM of Color Correction do not function. There are also times when it does not print correctly. Input Profile Specifies the input profile to be used when you select ICC Profile Matching for Color Correction. Printer Profile Specifies the printer profile to be used when ICC Profile Matching is selected for Color Correction. Normally Auto is selected but you can also select a printer profile manually.

Perceptual (Photo) / Perceptual Reproduces colors of general photos naturally and features smooth gradation. In addition, selecting this setting allows you to adjust colors easily using an application software. Saturation (Poster) / Saturation Reproduces vivid colors on data such as a poster. Relative Colorimetric When image data is converted to the color space of the printer, this method converts the image data so the color reproduction approximates the shared color regions. Select this method to print image data with colors that are close to the original colors. The white spots are reproduced as white spots (background color) on the paper. Absolute Colorimetric This method uses the white spot definitions in the input and output ICC profiles to convert the image data. Although the color and color balance of the white spots change, you may not be able to get the desired output results because of the profile combination. 531
