Relative Colorimetric
When image data is converted to the color space of the printer, this method converts the image
data so the color reproduction approximates the shared color regions. Select this method to print
image data with colors that are close to the original colors.
The white spots are reproduced as white spots (background color) on the paper.

This method uses the white spot definitions in the input and output ICC profiles to convert the
image data.
Although the color and color balance of the white spots change, you may not be able to get the
desired output results because of the profile combination.

• Depending on the media type, you may obtain the same print results even when you change the
Rendering Intent setting.
• If Driver Matching is selected for Color Correction , then Relative Colorimetric and Absolute
Colorimetric are not displayed.
