'Relative colorimetric'
#
Relative colorimetric keeps an almost exact relationship between in gamut colors,
even 
if this clips out of gamut colors.
The
 relative colorimetric rendering method replaces the colors to align the old white
point 
(the location of the most pure and light white in a color space) with the new
white 
point and to keep the relative positions of the colors. The Relative colorimetric
rendering intent is advised for logos, spot colors or PowerPoint presentations, but

'Absolute colorimetric'
#
Absolute colorimetric is similar to relative colorimetric, but uses a different method
to handle the white point.
Absolute and
 relative colorimetric both keep gamut colors and clip those out of
gamut,

 
but absolute colorimetric also keeps the white point.
Absolute colorimetric
 is advised for "proofing" applications, that require a good
color match,

 but also emulation 
of paper white. As a result of that, white areas can
become yellowish,
 because the...

What is an output profile?
The output profile is used to adjust the converted CMYK color space, depending on the
output device (via the Océ ColorWave 600 Printer Calibration Module) and the media
type you
 select 
(via the OMP Océ Media Profile file).
The 
output profile is applied automatically, but it is important that you load the correct
media on the Océ ColorWave 600 and that the correct OMP-file is available on the 'Océ
PowerM controller'

 or the 'Océ PowerM Plus controller '.

Color management settings and job submission
The way in which you submit a print job to the printer defines in most cases the file type
of the document. If you use a printer driver, the original file type will be changed by the
driver into a standard file type. The printer checks the file type of the document and
based on
 the file type the printer applies the default colour management settings of the
Océ 
Express WebTools.
If 
you use FTP or LPR to send a job to the printer, the file type is not...
