Rendering Intent - Saturation

2006-05-16 by potomacbassfisher

In the Luminous Landscape review of the Printfix Pro the author seems 
to love the product as has most everyone (myself included) but 
something he lists as a "con" confuses me.

He says "The default saturation rendering intent of the test prints is 
a poor choice, out of gamut colors will be mapped to ANY color, as long 
as it is saturated.  One can choose perceptual, relative colorimetric, 
or absolute colorimetric intents.  I prefer perceptual."

Am I to take this to mean that when I create the profile I am creating 
it with a rendering intent in mind?   I thought I could create the 
profile and use it with any rendering intent from the program that I'm 
printing from...

Please inform.
