extent of the gamut's saturation. Color's that fall within the gamut of the output device are shifted 
closer to the gamut's saturation extent. This rendering intent may also be used to boost colors 
within a photographic image. 

Absolute Colorimetric 

This intent is similar to Relative Colorimetric, but has a different white point value. Absolute 
Colorimetric represents colors relative to a fixed white point value of D50. For example, the white 
of paper A will be simulated when printing on paper B. This intent is best for color proofing. 

Spot Color  

This intent was created to supplement the Saturation intent. Spot Color maps colors similarly to the 
Saturation rendering intent, but Spot Color rendering intent produces the greatest saturation 
possible, and should not be used with photographic images. 

Info 

Clicking this button displays the Profile Properties dialog. This window displays detailed information of the 
selected output profile (media name, ink name and print modes). Use this to check whether the selected 
profile matches your media. 

Color Mode 

If your output device supports multiple color modes, then you can select one of the supported color modes 
here. 

The Setup Properties Cut Tab (CAMM JET/SOLJET SC-500) 

The Cut tab displays cut settings. 

Resolution 

Displays the resolution of the output device. Changing this value from the default (1016 steps/inch) is not 
recommended. 

Passes 

Specify how many times the blade will move over each line. 

Advance After Plot 

When this option is checked, the media is advanced after cutting and the origin is reset. 
When this option is unchecked you should set the 

Cut Media

 in the Custom End tab of Cutter Driver Options 

to OFF. 

Curve Quality 

Select how smooth you would like the curves to be. 

Knife Offset 

Checking this option, you can enter custom values for knife offset. 
Usually, knife offset should not be changed from the software. You should use the offset settings in the output 
device.
