Fiery Color Management
Rendering styles
The Rendering Style option specifies a CRD for color conversions. You can modify the
Rendering Style option to control the appearance of images, such as prints from office
applications or RGB photographs from Adobe Photoshop. The Fiery allows you to
select from the four rendering styles currently found in industry standard ICC profiles.

Photographic
—Typically results
in less saturated output than
presentation rendering when
printing out-of-gamut colors. It
preserves tonal relationships in
images.
Photographs, including scans
and images from stock
photography CDs.

Presentation
—Creates
saturated colors but does not
match printed colors precisely
to displayed colors.
In-gamut colors such as flesh
tones are rendered well; similar
to the Photographic rendering
style.
Artwork and graphs in
presentations. In many cases, it
can be used for mixed pages
that contain both presentation
graphics and photographs.

Relative Colorimetric
—Provides
white-point transformation
between the source and
destination white points. For
example, the bluish gray of a
monitor will map to neutral
gray. You may prefer this style
to avoid visible borders when
not
printing full-bleed.
Advanced use when color
matching is important but you
prefer white colors in the
document to print as paper
white. It may also be used with
PostScript color management to
affect CMYK data for
simulation purposes.

gray of a monitor will map to a
bluish gray.
Situations when exact colors are
needed and visible borders are
not distracting. It may also be
used with PostScript color
management to affect CMYK
data for simulation purposes.
