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].


Remark
  • 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 you want to set "Vivid Photo" when the PCL driver is installed, set "Matching Method" to [Saturation] → set "Output Profile" to [Photo].
  • If [None] is selected for "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, this setting is not applied.
