(Job Editor)

1. Select the [Printer and Media] Tab.
2. Click [Change Profiles...] button.
3. Select the[Rendering Intents] tab (Figure 1).
4. For each drop-down list, select the Rendering Intent you want to use.

 

NOTE: Depending on the type of data in your image, some options may not be available.

If you are working with a PDF file or a Quick Set , you can choose a [Rendering Intent] for both image and vector data and Lab Images. The [Proof] option is disabled unless a Proof ICC is selected on the [Profiles] tab. Proofing allows you to simulate the Rendering Intent as if you were printing on another printer.

1. 1. Highlight a printer and click “Configure Printer” icon on the toolbar. This opens “Configure Printer” dialog.

2. 2. In the [Quick Sets] tab, click [Edit] button. This opens “Edit Quick Set” dialog．

3. Click the [ Change Profiles...] button. This opens the "ICC Profile Setup" dialog.
4. Click the [Rendering Intents] tab (Figure 2).
5. For each drop-down list, select the Rendering Intent you want to use.

 

Note: Depending on the type of your image data, some options may not be available.

 

The options on the [Rendering Intents] tab of the "ICC Profile Setup" dialog allow you to select the rendering intent you want to use. If you are working with a PDF file or a Quick Set, you may choose a rendering intent for [Image], [Vector] data and [Lab Images]. The [Proof] option is disabled unless a proof ICC is selected on the Profiles page. Proofing allows you to simulate the rendering intent as if you were printing on another printer. For more information, see Proofing.

This option gives your images pleasing color. It adjusts all the colors in an image to control any colors that are outside the gamut of the output profile. Every color changes slightly, but the overall result of your image looks pleasing because the relationships between the colors stay the same. This is the default setting.

This option gives you the best solid hues. It takes all the colors and scales them to the brightest saturation possible. This is most suitable for printing when color impact is more important than color accuracy, such as when you print vector objects with bold, bright colors.

This option is used for proofing when you do not want to simulate the final output substrate color. It accurately reproduces the colors within the printer's range but does not attempt to accurately render the out of gamut colors. This can result in some strange color patterns because the out of gamut colors are not reproduced. This setting uses the color of the output media as the white point. When proofing, this proofs only the image and assumes that the media use is the same as the final media.

This option is used for proofing when you want to simulate the final output substrate color. It accurately reproduces all the colors within the printer's range, but adjusts the out of gamut colors so that they also fall within the range of the printer. This setting simulates the white point of the input profile. For proofing, this proofs both the image and the media.

This option, created by ONYX Graphics, Inc., allows for an improved CMYK color workflow. It preserves hue and relative saturation by mapping the input CMYK gamut directly to the output CMYK gamut. If the output gamut is larger than the input gamut, the output will be more colorful than the source image. Use this rendering intent with a CMYK source workflow. Using this option with an RGB source workflow provides the same results as the [Perceptual (Images)] option.

This option will adjust the black point to maintain shadow detail. This will take a Relative rendering intent and adjust the black point so that the output is comparable to a Perceptual rendering intent which usually has more shadow detail, especially with RGB images. Chose this option from a pulldown menu when you want to use it.
