RGB Source Profile

[Text]: [sRGB]*, [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], [Gamma 2.4], [Download Profile]

[Graphics]: [sRGB]*, [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], [Gamma 2.4], [Download Profile]

[Image]: [sRGB]*, [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], [Gamma 2.4], [Download Profile]

This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color model.

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

[sRGB]

This setting specifies the industry standard definition for generic Windows computer monitors. If you are using an sRGB compatible monitor, you can print out colors close to how they appear on your monitor.

[Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], and [Gamma 2.4]

These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout.

[Download Profile]

You can store up to 100 profiles.

Output Profile

[Text]: [Normal]*, [Photo]

[Graphics]: [Normal]*, [Photo]

[Image]: [Normal], [Photo]*

This setting allows you to define the profile that is appropriate for the data you are going to print. It is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected profile is right for your job.

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

Under most circumstances, it is preferable to select [Normal] for text and graphics data, and [Photo] for image data.

[Normal]

This setting prints the colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.

[Photo]

This setting prints colors close to photographic prints.

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

IMPORTANT
You may not be able to use all the profiles that are available. If color data is printed in gray using a downloaded profile, check the downloaded profile for compatibility.

NOTE
The settings for [RGB Source Profile], [Output Profile], or [Matching Method] are valid only when "Matching Mode" is set to [ICC Profile]. You can also download the profile from imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. To set [Colorimetric], set "Matching Method" to [Colorimetric] → set "Output Profile" to [Normal].
