Matching Method

[Text]: [Perceptual], [Saturation]*, [Colorimetric]

[Graphics]: [Perceptual]*, [Saturation], [Colorimetric]

[Image]: [Perceptual]*, [Saturation], [Colorimetric]

This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the "RGB Source Profile" is applied. This machine includes a color management system that provides the following color rendering styles.

Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

[Perceptual]

This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images.

[Saturation]

This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations.

[Colorimetric]

This setting is only applied if 'CMS(Matching)/Gamma' is set to [CMS].

NOTE
Selecting [Normal] in the "Output Profile" and [Perceptual] in the "Matching Method" is equivalent to setting "Matching Method" to [Perceptual(Normal)] in the printer driver. Selecting [Photo] in the "Output Profile" and [Perceptual] in the "Matching Method" is equivalent to setting "Matching Method" to [Perceptual (Photographic)] in the printer driver. Selecting [Photo] in the 'Output Profile' and [Saturation] in the 'Matching Method' is equivalent to setting 'Matching Method' to [VIVID Photo] in the printer driver. If you want to set "Vivid Photo" when the PCL driver is installed, set "Matching Method" to [Saturation] → set "Output Profile" to [Photo].

NOTE

Selecting [Normal] in the "Output Profile" and [Perceptual] in the "Matching Method" is equivalent to setting "Matching Method" to [Perceptual(Normal)] in the printer driver.

Selecting [Photo] in the "Output Profile" and [Perceptual] in the "Matching Method" is equivalent to setting "Matching Method" to [Perceptual (Photographic)] in the printer driver.

Selecting [Photo] in the 'Output Profile' and [Saturation] in the 'Matching Method' is equivalent to setting 'Matching Method' to [VIVID Photo] in the printer driver.

If you want to set "Vivid Photo" when the PCL driver is installed, set "Matching Method" to [Saturation] → set "Output Profile" to [Photo].
