•Saturation
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you don't
necessarily care how accurate the colors are. 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.
• Relative Colorimetric
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer.
Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the
source white to the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute
Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into account.
• 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
often very different from paper white, so this may result in color
casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image.
Color Simulation
Affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer
environments only.
This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan. If using CMYK Ink
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer
Color Matching by selecting No Color Matching under the Color
Match option in the printer driver.
Select the option desired.
