4. Rendering Intent
Rendering Intents are only used when “Postscript Colour
Matching” is selected.
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the
document’s colour space to the printer’s colour space. The
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine
how this colour conversion takes place.
Select the option desired.
Absolute Colorimetric
Matches colours common to both devices exactly, and clips the
“out of gamut” colours to their nearest printed equivalent.
Tries to print white as it appears on screen. The white of a
monitor is often very different from paper white, so this may
result in colour casts, especially in the lighter areas of an
image.
Auto
The best default optionas this selects the optimal settings for a
general office environment.
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 colours are shifted together.
