(1.8/6500) color temperatures of 6500K and γ 1.8.
Gray3 (sRGB): Suitable for printing with an sRGB monitor.
*1 Color : The color of a light source is indicated in
temperature [Kelvin degrees (K)]. The
higher the temperature is, the more the color
of a light source is bluish. The lower the tem-
perature is, the more the color of a light
source is reddish.
*2 γ (gamma): This shows reproduction of color tone using
figures. The larger the γ rating is, the more
the color is contrasty. The smaller the γ rat-
ing is, the more the color is softer.
*3 sRGB: This is adopted as the standard RGB color
base.
• ColorSync
Check here to use the Mac OS color management function
(ColorSync).
* The printer driver supports ColorSync version 2.5 or later.

• Matching method
Choose a color matching method (Rendering Intent) with
ColorSync.
The following choices are available:
Profile Default: Identical to “Perseptual”.
Perseptual: Performs appearance-matching accompa-
nied by compression of the color
reproduction spectrum.
The most suitable color reproduction is ob-
tained when sRGB monitor is chosen as the
input profile.
Relative Colorimetric:
Compensates for white color differences, as
opposed to absolute reproduction.
Saturation: The same as “Perseptual”
Absolute Colorimetric:
Performs colorimetric matching. Colors out-
side the color reproduction spectrum are
poorly reproduced.
