Windows: Color Printing • 154

Monitor (9300k)

Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a
color temperature of 6500K.

Digital Camera

Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the
subjects and the conditions under which they were taken.

sRGB

Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo
color.

The colors within the printer's color gamut are printed without any
modification, and only colors that fall outside the gamut (set) of
printable colors are modified.

Postscript Color Matching

This uses Postscript Color Rendering Dictionaries built into the
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.

Rendering Intents

When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the
document’s color space to the printer color space. The rendering
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this color
conversion takes place.

The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed
below:

• Perceptual

Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall
appearance of an image. This may change the overall appearance
of an image as all the colors are shifted together.

• Saturation

Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors, but less
accurately matched. This makes it the recommended choice for
graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the
source gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer’s gamut.
