Matching Method

Description

Remarks

Auto

Color-matching optimized for images,
graphics, or text.

The available options and their display or-
der vary depending on your selected col-
or-matching mode, as well as the operat-
ing system.

Perceptual

Color-matching optimized for printing
typical photos attractively. Smooth gra-
dation is a feature. This is also an easy-
to-use mode when performing color ad-
justment using application software.

Colorimetric

Color-matching optimized for printing im-
age data with accurate colors in input
color space. This is the easiest-to-use
mode when you want to adjust the color
and print. However, gradation may be
lost for colors of wider range than the
color reproduction range of the printer.
Generally, this is also called relative col-
orimetric.

Colorimetric (No Wht-pnt Corr)

The processing method of color-match-
ing is identical to Colorimetric. Use this
when you want to further reproduce the
target paper material color of the image
data. Generally, this also is called abso-
lute colorimetric

Saturation

Color-matching optimized for printing
posters, etc., vividly.

For instructions on color adjustment, refer to the following topics, as appropriate for your computer and operat-
ing system.
