ENDERING
INTENTS
When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other profile apart from Auto,
you can select the Rendering Intent. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that
determine how colors that fall outside of the printable colors are treated.
Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are printing.
Perceptual
This option is recommended for printing photographs.
Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colors when printing. This brings
unprintable colors into the printer’s range, whilst keeping the relationships between the
colors the same.
Saturation
This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you want vivid colors. This will
not necessarily produce accurate color, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.
Relative colorimetric
This option is best for printing solid colors and tints. Use Relative Colorimetric when printing
from a drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand.
Absolute colorimetric
This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your printer that are intended
for final output on a printing press. This may result in a visible color cast on your print as
it will also try to simulate the paper white of the target device.

GRAPHICS
When your document is printed, often the pure black colors will not be printed using 100%
black toner. Instead, these pure black colors are sometimes converted and printed using a
mixture of CMYK toner.
Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100% black text or graphics in
your document is printed using pure black toner.
This means that the following colors in your documents will be printed using only 100%
black toner:
RGB Red = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0
CMYK Cyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%,
Black = 100%

PRECISION
When the printer performs color matching, it must do many calculations to convert between
different color formats (RGB, CMYK, etc.). These calculations can take time to process.
The Color Match Precision option allows you to choose between higher quality color
matching (more time consuming) or faster but less accurate color matching.

If you are creating ICC profiles using third-party software, select Disable Color Matching
for ICC Profile Creation. This option switches off all printer color management and also
prevents the printer from restricting toner layer thickness.
