Abstract

The aim of the investigation was to determine the influence of rendering intents on the gamut volume and the visual evaluations in digital proofing. According to that, the corresponding test form was used for the needs of investigation and printed on Epson style pro 7800 with the application of ICC standard rendering intents (perceptual, saturation, relative colorimetric and absolute colorimetric). Based on the results obtained by spectrophotometer measurements, the gamut of the digital proofing was illustrated with the ColorThink software in CIE L*a*b* color space. The analysis in relation to the results of visual evaluations shows the difference influence of the rending intents to digital image quality.
