Windows: Color Printing • 152
Color Matching Options: Windows Me and 98
The Graphics tab on the Postscript emulation driver in these
Windows operating systems offers several rendering intents for
controlling the color output of the printer.
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the
document’s color to the printer color. The rendering intents are
essentially a set of rules that determine how this color conversion
takes place.
