Perceptual Rendering

Color rendering is the strategy used to convert the colors in an image into colors that your printer can print. Different rendering intents have different priorities.

In cases where the colors in your image far outnumber the colors you can print, it is common to use the perceptual rendering intent to transform the image colors into your printer’s color space.

The perceptual intent is intended to preserve the look and feel of the original image, maintaining tone and detail as a first priority, and saturation/color accuracy as a second priority. Perceptual rendering can also be tuned to achieve customized results, allowing the profile to trade detail and tonality for greater saturation and contrast.

The controls provided in i1Profiler allow you to customize contrast, saturation, and neutral color rendering when using your profile to convert colors with perceptual rendering.

Use the perceptual preset options or create your own custom settings.
