Matching Method

[Perceptual]*, [Saturation], [Colorimetric]

This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the "RGB Source Profile" is applied. This machine includes a colour management system that provides the following colour rendering styles.

Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

[Perceptual]

This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images.

[Saturation]

This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations.

[Colorimetric]

This setting provides a close match to the RGB colour value of the machine's printing range.

When setting this from the touch panel display, specify the following settings to match the settings of the printer driver.

Printer driver settings		Touch panel display settings
100% GCR Profile	RGB Matching Method	Output Profile	Matching Method
On	General	TR Photo	Perceptual
On	Perceptual	TR Normal	Perceptual
On	Colorimetric	TR Normal/TR Photo	Colorimetric
On	Vivid Photo	TR Photo	Saturation
Off	General	Photo	Perceptual
Off	Perceptual	Normal	Perceptual
Off	Colorimetric	Normal/Photo	Colorimetric
Off	Vivid Photo	Photo	Saturation

NOTE
If [None] is selected for the 'RGB Source Profile' or 'CMYK Simulation Profile', and the machine receives a device dependent colour space definition that is colour processed by the host computer, a Matching Method setting is not applied.
