1. Select the [Printer and MediaA paper or other substrate that the printer creates images on.] Tab.
2. Click [Change Profiles...] button.
3. Select the[Rendering Intents] tab (Figure 1).
4. For each drop-down list, select the Rendering IntentA method of mapping color values so colors can be reproduced on different devices, even if the devices have a different gamut. As part of this process, it determines how in-gamut and out-of-gamut colors are mapped. Different methods of compressing are used depending on the rendering intent selected so out-of-gamut color values so they can be reproduced. you want to use.

 

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

 

If you are working witha PostScript / PDF file or a Quick SetA group of settings that is applied to images to create jobs in an efficient manner. , you can choose a [Rendering Intent] for both image and vector data and Lab Images. The [Proof] option is disabled unless a Proof ICCICC (International Color Consortium) A group of hardware and software companies dedicated to the development of a specification that is operating system independent and provides the digital imaging, printing and related industries with a data format for defining the color and reproduction characteristics of devices and their related media 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 ProfileAn international standard for describing color transformations. Also known as ICM (.icm). See also Color Profile and Profile Library. 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], [VectorA term given to a graphic drawing, specified as a color, start and end point, and applied to line segments, type and tints.] data and [Lab Images]. The [Consistency Simulation/Proofing] option is disabled unless a Consistency Simulation/Proofing ICC is selected on the Profiles tab. The rendering intent for Consistency Simulation/Proofing allows you to choose how accurately to render the gamut of the target printer when proofing. The default for proofing is Absolute as it makes adjustments to preserve the media color. For Consistency Simulation it is recommended that Relative with Black PointColor that when scanned produces values of 0,0,0 in a scanner. Ideally, the black point is 0% neutral reflectance or transmittance. See also white point. Compensation be used to avoid clipping of shadows and compensate for differences in media white point. For more information, see Proofing.

This option is used to give images pleasing color. It adjusts all the colors in an image to smoothly blend with colors that are mapped from 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 is used for proofing when you need to reproduce in-gamut colors as accurately as possible, but do not want to simulate the final output substrate color. It accurately reproduces the colors within the printer's range, and adjusts the out of gamut colors to fall within the printers range. This can result in some strange color patterns because the out of gamut colors cannot be reproduced accurately. 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 white point is the same as the final media.

This option is used for proofing when you want to simulate the output of one printer on another as accurately as possible, including substrate color. It accurately reproduces all the colors within the printer's range, but clips the out of gamut colors. This setting simulates the white point of the input profile.

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, created by ONYX Graphics, Inc., allows for an improved CMYKSystem for describing colors based on a combination of values for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black; the ink colors used in four-color process printing. In theory, 100% of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow create Black. In practice, the addition of Black ink is necessary to print a true Black. See also RGB. 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 RGBSystem for describing colors based on a combination of values for Red, Green, and Blue—the additive primaries. RGB is the basic additive color model used for color video display. Mixing various percentages of red, green, and blue light can recreate most of the spectrum; combining 100% of all three creates white light. See CMYK, Additive Color. source workflow provides the same results as the [Perceptual (Images)] option.

This option will adjust the black point to maintain shadow detail. For example, this will take the [Relative] rendering intent and adjust the black point so that the dynamic range is comparable to the [Perceptual] rendering intent which usually has more shadow detail, especially with RGB images.

This setting overrides any rendering intent selections and uses embedded rendering intents if the file contains them. Embedded rendering intents are only possible with PDF files. Since an embedded rendering intent is configured specifically for that image, using this option ensures the color will render as the creator intended.
