Matching Method

[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.

[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 provides a close match to the RGB color value of the machine's printing range.

NOTE
The function is not available if "Resolution" is set to [1200 dpi]. Selecting [Normal] or [TR 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] or [TR 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] or [TR Normal] in the 'Output Profile' and [Saturation] in the 'Matching Method' is equivalent to setting 'Matching Method' to [VIVID Photo] in the printer driver. If [None] is selected for the 'RGB Source Profile' or 'CMYK Simulation Profile', and the machine receives a device dependent color space definition that is color processed by the host computer, a Matching Method setting is not applied.
