C5300 Color Printing • 167
Digital Camera
Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects
and the conditions under which they were taken.
sRGB
Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo
color.
The colors within the printer's color gamut are printed without any
modification, and only colors that fall outside the gamut (set) of
printable colors are modified.

printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.

document’s color space to the printer color space. The rendering

conversion takes place.
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed below:
• Perceptual
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst 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 and saturated colors, but less
accurately matched. 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.
• 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
