digital cameras capture colors as electronic data, and
when output devices such as display screens and 
printers reproduce colors fr om the color data. The color 
management system...

Setting profiles
Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent 
(matching method) vary betw een three types of color 
management printing since their color management 
engines are used differently. This is because color 
management usage differs between the engines. Make
settings in the printer driver or application as described 
in the following table.
