Intents, for the most part, decide how to print "unprintable" colors.  
If you can't reach that particular taxi-cab yellow, what available  
yellow would you prefer? The brightest one possible (Saturation  
intent), or the most literal one possible even if its rather dull  
(Relative Colorimetric), or one where all your other colors are  
blindly desaturated in case the cab yellow, or some other color, may  
exceed the printer's reach, so that all the desaturated colors will  
have appropriate relations to one another, even if none of them are  
literally correct (Perceptual, though we don't do it that way!)
