Margins
Use the following controls to set the width of the margins around the contact sheet.
• Top value slider: Enter the amount of space, in inches, to place between the top edge
of the page and the top of the images.
• Right value slider: Enter the amount of space, in inches, to place between the right edge
of the page and the right side of the images.
• Bottom value slider: Enter the amount of space, in inches, to place between the bottom
edge of the page and the bottom of the images.

Rendering
Use the following controls to apply a color profile, render intent, and black point
compensation, and to adjust the print resolution.
• Color Profile pop-up menu: Choose a printer profile to use when printing.
• Render Intent: Choosing a render intent tells Aperture what to do with colors that fall
outside of the printer’s color gamut. The two render intent options are Perceptual and
Relative Colorimetric.
For more information about perceptual render intent, see perceptual.
For more information about relative colorimetric render intent, see relative colorimetric.
• Black Point Compensation checkbox: Select this checkbox to scale the black and white
luminance values to the selected ColorSync profile. This option compensates for the
difference between the way black images are saturated on a computer screen and the
way black ink is saturated on paper. Turning on black point compensation can prevent
shadows from appearing as solid black.
• Print Resolution pop-up menu: Choose between applying the optimal DPI for the image
size, a standard DPI setting, or setting the DPI manually.
