Depending on the printer you are using, some items may not be displayed.

Table 1.
True Rich Color / True Rich Color 2¹	Despite its high-saturation output, it has a wide color gamut, more naturally producing colors such as gray and peach.
PrepressGeneral	Applies the standard settings used for printing in general printing environments.
Prepress U.S.	Applies the standard settings used for printing in general printing environments in the United States.
Prepress EURO	Applies the standard settings used for printing in general printing environments in Europe.
Japan Color	Applies the standard settings used for printing in general printing environments in Japan.
MAX Impact	Produces vibrant images suitable for signs.
Sign&Display	Does not use the profile embedded in the image data (the profile specified by the image data). You can obtain good results by selecting this setting when you want to print dark colors over the entirety of signs.
MAX Density U.S.	Color conversion just for the illustration is disabled and output is performed as defined in the data. You can obtain good results by selecting this setting when you make the color density a priority.
MAX Density Japan	Color conversion just for the illustration is disabled and output is performed as defined in the data. This setting is almost the same as MAX Density U.S., but output is performed while preserving the primary colors.
Density Control Only	Color conversion is disabled and output is performed as defined in the data. The amount of ink is limited, so the ink does not overflow.
Custom	You can select the input profile and the matching method (color conversion) settings individually.
Custom High-Performance	You can select the input profile and the matching method (color conversion) settings individually. This assumes high performance.
Full Page Conversion Mode	Applies the same matching method for both raster and vector objects.

¹ * If they both appear, select the True Rich Color 2 with the broader color gamut. If you have set the True Rich Color before updating VersaWorks and want to output the same color, select True Rich Color.
