Relative Colorimetric Color is converted so that chromatic coordinate between the original data and the print data matches, and the white point (color temperature) also matches between them. This method is used a lot for color matching. Absolute Colorimetric Color is converted assigning both the original and print data to absolute chromatic coordinate. The white point (color temperature) of the original and print data is not corrected. Use this method to print an image that has a specific color such as a corporate logo.
