Parameter Option Description
CMYK
rendering
intent All printers, monitors, and scanners have a gamut or range of colors
that they can output (or view in the case of a scanner). If a color
needs to be output and is outside the gamut of the output device, it
must be mapped or approximated to some other color that exists
within the gamut. Rendering intent compresses out-of-gamut colors
into the color capability of the printer you are using. When working
with ICC profiles, it is important that you select the rendering intent
that best preserves the important aspects of the image. Each
rendering method specifies a CRD for color conversions.
Provides the following options:
● Auto—Select this option when your file includes different objects
on the same page—for example, a presentation that includes
JPEG pictures, text, and Excel graphs. A different rendering intent
is automatically applied to each type of object (image, text, and
graphic). If RGB images and CMYK graphic elements are on the
same page, the RGB images will use the perceptual rendering
intent, while the CMYK graphic elements will use the relative
rendering intent.
Note: Preserve pure CMY colors is not affected by this
rendering intent option.
● Relative—This is the default option for CMYK. This rendering
intent maps some closely related colors in the input color space to
the closest possible color in the output color space. This mapping
reduces the number of colors in the image.
● Absolute—Select this method for representing "signature" colors
(colors that are strongly identified with a commercial product).
Colors that fall inside the output color space are represented very
accurately.
● Saturation—Select this method for artwork and graphs in
presentations. In many cases, this option can be used for mixed
pages that contain both presentation graphics and photographs.
Note: Select Saturation to achieve smoothness when you print
RGB vector graphics (non image graphics).
● Perceptual—This is the default option for RGB. Select this
method when working with realistic images such as photographs,
including scans and images from stock photography CDs. All or
most colors in the original images are changed, but the
relationship between the colors does not change.
