(input color space; RGB, CMYK or Grey color space) to the output color space of the Océ ColorWave 900 (CMYK color space). This conversion can require approximations in order to preserve the image's most important color qualities.
Page 303: What Is An Input Profile / Standardization
What is an input profile / standardization? What is an input profile / standardization? Definition An input profile / standardization defines what color space you must use to interpret the color information of the file you want to print in a correct manner. The main input profiles (color spaces) are the following.
Page 304 What is an input profile / standardization? • Gray In the grayscale (color) space only information about the lightness is given. Lightness can range from a minimum of 0 (black) to 100 (white). You can define the input profile if you use the [Color feel] setting [Graphics colors]. The table below gives an overview of the possible input profiles / standardization settings.

Page 307: 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 900 color space. In other words, the input color space is larger than the output color space. Consequently some of the defined input colors will be outside the Océ...

Page 309: Rendering Intent: Saturation (Business Graphics)
Rendering intent: Saturation (business graphics) Rendering intent: 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 satura- ted colors in the output color space, even if this results in relatively more extreme colors.
Page 310: Rendering Intent: Relative Colorimetric
Rendering intent: Relative colorimetric Rendering intent: 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 311: Rendering Intent: Absolute Colorimetric
Rendering intent: Absolute colorimetric Rendering intent: 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 ab- solute colorimetric also keeps the white point.
