Hi all

I have a quick (Hopefully) question regarding rendering Intent when printing

I use the Datacolor Spyderprint System (Current Model) to create ICC Profiles for my various printing papers but have one question regarding which rendering Intent to use when printing using those profiles

My printing software suggests

Perceptual is used for general printing

Relative Colorimetric is used for Photos with limited or specific colours

Saturation is used for graphs and charts

Absolute Colorimetric is used for Proofing under controlled lighting

So my limited understanding would suggest that Perceptual would be the correct one to use, but the instructions with the Spyderprint says I should use saturation.

Anyone got any thoughts on this and which would be the correct one to use when photo printing.

Thanks for anyhelp with this

Paul
