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" applications, that require a good color match, but also emulation of paper white. As a result of that, white areas can become yellowish, because the printer tries to emulate the whitepoint of the input profile. This setting provides the highest accuracy in rendering RGB colors into CMYK colors, including rendering the source's white. NOTE
You can see the minor level of blue of the monitor background as a bluish white in the lightest tones of the printed output. A minor yellow tone can occur in the white tones of a PDF/TIFF original or an HP-GL type document. |
