Setting Color Management Options
The Color Management category in the Print dialog box allows you to select a printer pro-
file and rendering intent for printing. Rendering intent specifies how the program converts
colors to the destination color space. In most cases, it's best to use the default options
for Color Management unless you've been given specific instructions from a commercial
printer to change them.
