3. Select the [CMYK Input profile] (3) that corresponds to the
device you are trying to match such as a SWOP or Euroscale
Press. If you have another CMYK Ink profile that you wish to use,
select it here as the appropriate “CMYK Source x” profile.
Remember that the names “CMYK Source 1”, “CMYK Source 2”
and so on relate to the number assigned to the profile using Profile
Assistant. See “Step 2 - Down loading ICC profiles to the hard
disk” on page 187.
Use the [Preserve Black] option to keep the original gray
component (K channel) information. If [Preserve Black] is
disabled, the gray components may be printed using a mixture of
CMYK toner, instead of just K (black) toner.
4. Select a Printer Output Profile (4).
If [Auto] is selected, the factory default profiles that are
embedded in the MFP will be used. If you have created a profile
yourself using profile creation software, select it here.
If you have selected a profile other than [Auto], select the
[Rendering Intent] (5). (See “Rendering intents” on page 195.)
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.
