User's Manual

The CMYK Source Color Space area contains two menus: Images and Text and Graphics

Enhancement. The CMYK Rendering Intent area contains three menus: Images, Text,

and Graphics. These menus enable you to make separate adjustments that cause the

system to perform specific optimization for CMYK.

About Using Embedded Profile for CMYK & RGB

By enabling or disabling the Use Embedded Profile check box, you can choose whether

to use or ignore any embedded profiles that may be in the print job. By default, the

check box is not selected and any profiles are ignored. When selected, any embedded

profiles take precedence over the queue default settings. If there are no embedded

profiles in the job, the queue default settings are used even if the Use Embedded Profile

check box is selected.

Note

Selection of the Use Embedded Profile check box for RGB is recommended. Enabling

this feature gives the most accurate output from the intent of the file creator.

About CMYK & RGB Rendering Intent for Images, Text, and Graphics

The CMYK and RGB options for the three menus (Images, Text, and Graphics) are the

same.

Select one of the following:

• Saturation

• Perceptual

• Relative Colorimetric

• Absolute Colorimetric

The Rendering Intent and Color Space features enable the system to perform specific

optimizations for CMYK or RGB. For example, a Colormetric selection is best used for

CMYK color matching, while a value of Perceptual is best used for RGB professional

photographs.
