Managing Color with Profiles
For the most precise color in your prints, you can use profiles designed
specifically for your printer model and paper type. Basic profiles are installed
with your printer driver. For a list of the profiles and their corresponding media
types, see "Roll papers" on page 226 or "Cut sheet papers" on page 227.
Assigning a profile to your image doesn’t alte r it, only the interpretation of it by
your software and how it appears on your monitor and in a printout. This is the
best way to improve the color balance and contrast in your image.
Follow the instructions on the next page to use Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, or CS3
to print with profiles using Photoshop color management (the steps show only
CS3 screens). It’s important to turn off color management in your printer
software when you use Photoshop color management or you’ll get
unexpected results.
