This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you
want vivid colors. This will not necessarily produce accurate
color, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.
R
ELATIVE

This option is best for printing solid colors and tints. Use Relative

Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand.

BSOLUTE
COLORIMETRIC
This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your
MFP that are intended for final output on a printing press. This
may result in a visible color cast on your print as it will also try to
simulate the paper white of the target device.

GRAPHICS
When your document is printed, often the pure black colors will
not be printed using 100% black toner. Instead, these pure black
colors are sometimes converted and printed using a mixture of
CMYK toner.
Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100%
black text or graphics in your document is printed using pure
black toner.
This means that the following colors in your documents will be
printed using only 100% black toner:
RGBRed = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0
CMYKCyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%,
Black = 100%

MATCH
PRECISION
When the MFP performs color matching, it must do many
calculations to convert between different color formats (RGB,
CMYK, etc.). These calculations can take time to process.
