_______________________________________ Color Printing 8-13
Perceptual intent: All colors of a given color gamut are scaled to
fit within another color gamut, maintaining the
relationship of all colors. Perceptual intent is
best for scanned images and printing CMYK to
CMYK.
Relative intent: Colors fitting within the gamut of both the
original and output are untouched. Colors falling
outside the output gamut are converted to the
closest gamut colors possible; within-the-gamut
colors remain unchanged. Affected out-of-gamut
colors maintain hue and lightness at the expense
of saturation.
Absolute intent: Colors within the gamut are unchanged; out-of-
gamut colors are clipped. This is similar to
relative intent except out-of-gamut colors are
maintained at the expense of some density of
other colors.
Saturated intent: Typically, use saturated intent for printing
business graphics where color saturation or
brightness is the most important consideration.
Source
The Source is the type of final output device you want to emulate.
Your printer offers sRGB (Standard default RGB color space; the
factory default) through the front panel. See “Source” in chapter 6.
