    • As in this example, if you configure the output color as CMYK values, the color will be printed according to the density curve configured in the Media Explorer window (and not with the Matching Method setting). This method is useful in situations such as when you want to print a specific color without any impurities. But in this case, the ink limit does not apply. Be cautious of excessive ink usage when printing.
