Matching Method Description Remarks Colorimetric Color-matching optimized for printing image data with accurate colors in input color space. This is the easiest-to-use mode when you want to adjust the color and print. However, gradation may be lost for colors of wider range than the color reproduction range of the printer. Generally, this is also called relative colorimetric. The available options and their display order vary depending on your selected color-matching mode, as well as the op- erating system. Colorimetric (No Wht-pnt Corr) The processing method of color-match- ing is identical to Colorimetric. Use this when you want to further reproduce the target paper material color of the image data. Generally, this also is called abso- lute colorimetric. Saturation Color-matching optimized for printing posters, etc., vividly.Note • Be sure to calibrate your monitor colors correctly if you adjust the colors for printing. If monitor colors are not calibrated correctly, you may not obtain the desired printing results.
