Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the 
document's color space to the printer color space. The rendering 
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this color 
conversion takes place. 
The printer driver provides the rendering intents listed below:
– Auto   
Best choice for printing general documents.
– Perceptual 
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the 
source gamut into the printer's gamut while maintaining the 
overall appearance of an image. This option attempts to 
simulate RGB color. 
– Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you 
don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This 
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, 
diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source 
gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer's gamut. 
– Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. 
Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the 
source white to the (usually) paper white.  Unlike Absolute 
Colorimetric, Relative Colorimetric attempts to take the 
paper white into account. 
– Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints (such as Company 
logos). Matches colors common to both devices exactly. 
Clips the out of gamut colors to their nearest printed 
equivalent. Tries to print white as it appears on screen. The 
white of a monitor is often very different from paper white, 
so this may result in color casts, especially in the lighter 
areas of an image.
