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 alter 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.

For Macintosh instructions, see "Macintosh Printing with a Color Profile" on page 219.

For Windows instructions, see "Windows Printing with a Color Profile" on page 222.
