[RGB Source Profile]

Select this when you use the RGB source profile as default settings.

Allows you to set the RGB source profile to be used.

Select this when specifying a monitor profile in addition to standard color space (sRGB, etc.).

If you select this item, the following 2 items become available.
- [Rendering] which is displayed below this item
- [RGB Simulation] on the [Optional Settings] tab

The setting of this item is not applied, if you select [Use Embedded RGB Profile] on the [Optional Settings] tab.

[Rendering]

Select the default rendering setting for Image, Graphic, and Text respectively.

To select this item, select [RGB Source Profile] above this item ahead.

[CMYK] Tab

[Off]

Select this to use the embedded CMYK target profile as default.

[CMYK-CMYK Device Link Profile]

Select this when you use the CMYK-CMYK device link profile as default.

Set the CMYK-CMYK device link profile for images, graphics, and text, respectively.

[CMYK Target Profile]

Select this when you use the CMYK target profile as default.

Allows you to set the CMYK target profile to be used.

This setting is used when printing according to the printing standard (ISO Coated, etc.) or other printing machines.

Selecting this item enables you to set [Paper Simulation], which is displayed below this item.

The setting of this item is not applied, if you select [Use Embedded CMYK Profile] on the [Optional Settings] tab.

[Paper Simulation]

Check when you execute the Paper Simulation as default.

If you choose not to use Paper Simulation (Rendering: Relative), remove the check from the check box.

If you choose to use Paper Simulation (Rendering: Absolute), check this check box.

To select this item, select [CMYK Target Profile] above this item ahead.

[Printer Profile] Tab

[Printer Profile]

Specifies the default printer profile.

[Paper Type Link]

Allows you to set whether or not to enable the paper type link function as default settings. An appropriate profile is automatically selected according to the paper.

[Optional Settings] tab

[Tone Curve]

Specifies the default tone curve.

When the individual setting of tone curve is enabled, set [Image] and [Text/Graphic] respectively.

[Keep 100% Density for Text/Graphics]

Select default of K100% output.

• Whether to output objects at the maximum density

Target: Only objects whose input values are K100% (text, graphics)
K100%: RGB=(0,0,0) or CMYK=(0,0,0,100)

• This function prints black (not gray) in K only (100%).

• This function prints objects in pure black (K) not in rich black (CMYK).

• Even if you apply a tone curve whose maximum output value is less than 100%, this function keeps K100%.

• This function is not available on this machine.

[Pure Black]

Specifies whether to use the pure black or not. Specifies the pure black setting.

Pure Black is a function for using K100% single color printing when the input is RGB=(0,0,0).

[Black Overprint]

Check when you execute the black overprint as default.

Black Overprint is a function that prints K100% objects over the underlying color. If you choose not to use this function, the underlying color is removed (knockout processing) when printing.

[Gray Replacement]

Allows you to set whether or not to use gray replacement as default, and if used, the target of gray replacement. Set for [RGB] and [CMYK], respectively.

Gray Replacement is a function used for color reproduction in K single color when R, G, and B values are the same.

[Composite Overprint]

Allows you to set whether or not to use composite overprint as default settings, as well as the priority targets when using this function. Composite Overprint is a function concerning the overprint for jobs for which the use of overprint is set by the application.

If you use, it reproduces transparency (an overlay of colors) that an application depicts.
If you do not use, it removes undercolors of objects (knock-out processing) and then outputs.

[Use Spot Color]

Check when you use the spot color as default.

[Use Alternative Color Conversion]

Check when you execute the alternative color conversion as default.

[Use Embedded RGB Profile]

Allows you to set whether or not to use embedded RGB profile as default.

It performs color conversion, by using a profile that is embedded in an object in print data.
To print by using a profile that you assign on an application (example: Adobe Photoshop), select this.

[Use Embedded CMYK Profile]

Allows you to set whether or not to use embedded CMYK profile as default.

It performs color conversion, by using a profile that is embedded in an object in print data.
To print by using a profile that you assign on an application (example: Adobe Photoshop), select this.

[RGB Simulation]

Specify whether to perform RGB simulation as default.

If you select, it simulates in CMYK when it converts RGB data to CMYK data.

To select this item, select [RGB Source Profile] on the [RGB] tab ahead.

[PDF/X output intent]

Specify whether to use output intent of PDF/X as default.

Output intent: You can embed a profile of a printer that becomes a target finally into PDF.
The target of color conversion differs based on whether to select [PDF/X output intent] or not.

• Do not select: A profile of CMYK (The profile that you selected in Settings of Color Configuration Default or Default Manual Settings)

• Select: Output intent

Even if you select, it performs color conversion according to color conversion settings of CMYK, when PDF does not include output intent.

[Use CIE Color]

Select default of the color space to be used in color conversion.

• Whether to use the color space that the CIE color system configures

If you select this item, colors tend to become lighter.
Because of gradation changes, you may be able to reduce blocked up shadows.
To improve the visibility, change the tone curve to the one that can output colors thicker.
CIE: CIE = Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (International Commission on Illumination)
