You can choose the color-matching mode and method.
By adjusting the color-matching mode and method, you can make printed colors match the colors of on-screen

Matching Mode Description Remarks
Driver Matching Mode Enables printing of optimal color tones using a
driver specific color profile. You should normally select this mode.
ICC Matching Mode Enables color matching using ICC profiles.
Select this if you want to print by specifying the
input profile, printer profile, and matching meth-
od in detail. This allows you to use ICC profiles for digital
cameras and scanners, ICC profiles created
using the profile creation tool, etc.
Driver ICM Mode Enables color matching by the printer driver us-
ing the ICM function of printer driver.
Select this if you want to print by only specify-
ing the matching method. Available when using Windows.
Host ICM Mode Enables color matching by the host computer
using the ICM function of Windows.
Select this if you want to print from an applica-
tion that supports the ICM function.
ColorSync Enables color matching by using the ColorSync
function of Mac OS.
Select this if you want to perform soft proofing
using ColorSync before printing. Available when using Mac OS.
Matching Method Description Remarks
Auto Color-matching optimized for images, graphics,
or text. The available options and their display order
vary depending on your selected color-match-
ing mode, as well as the operating system.
Perceptual Color-matching optimized for printing typical
photos attractively. Smooth gradation is a fea-
ture. This is also an easy-to-use mode when
performing color adjustment using application
software.
Colorimetric Color-matching optimized for printing image
data with accurate colors in input color space.
This is the easiest-to-use mode when you want
to adjust the color and print. However, grada-
tion may be lost for colors of wider range than
the color reproduction range of the printer.
Generally, this is also called relative colorimet-
ric.
Colorimetric (No Wht-pnt Corr) The processing method of color-matching is
identical to Colorimetric. Use this when you
want to further reproduce the target paper ma-
terial color of the image data. Generally, this al-
so is called absolute colorimetric.
Saturation Color-matching optimized for printing posters,
etc., vividly.

correctly, you may not obtain the desired printing results. For instructions on monitor calibration, refer to the documenta-
tion for your monitor and operating system.
