Figure 6.3-17: Rendering Intent
Rendering intent specifies the rendering intent that this step should associate with the job. Rendering
intents inform the printer what action to take when a print job includes colors that lie outside the color
range of the printer.
Perceptual (default): The printer adjusts all the colors in the image so they are all in the color range of the
printer and maintain their color relationships to each other.
Saturation: The printer substitutes the nearest color that it can print for out-of-range colors and adjusts in-
range colors to make them more vivid.
Relative Colorimetric: The printer substitutes the nearest color that it can print for out-of-range colors; in-
range colors are not adjusted.
Absolute Colorimetric: The printer substitutes the nearest color that it can print for out-of-range colors,
and then all colors are adjusted based on the white point of the media.
