Page 281: What Is An Input Profile / Standardization
What is an input profile / standardization? What is an input profile / standardization?

Page 286: What Are Rendering Intents
What are Rendering intents? Definition of rendering intents Normally the color space of a print file is larger than the Océ ColorWave 650 Poster Printer color space. In other words, the input color space is larger than the output color space.
Page 287: Perceptual (Photo)
'Perceptual (photo)' 'Perceptual (photo)' This setting optimizes the output to produce best results for photos, artwork, GIS or images. Perceptual rendering tries to preserve some relationship between out of gamut colors, even if this results in inaccuracies for in-gamut colors. Chapter 8 - Print quality and Print productivity...
Page 288: Saturation (Business Graphics)
'Saturation (business graphics)' 'Saturation (business graphics)' This setting optimizes the output of bright, saturated colors. Saturation rendering intent preserves saturated colors, and is advised if you try to keep color purity in computer graphics. Pure saturated colors in the original RGB device will still be saturated colors in the output color space, even if this results in relatively more extreme colors.
Page 289: Relative Colorimetric
'Relative colorimetric' '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.
Page 290: Absolute Colorimetric
'Absolute colorimetric' '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"...
