Color Management Printing 137
Setting profilesSettings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent (matching method) vary between
three types of color management printing since their color management engines are used
differently. This is because color management usage differs between the engines. Make
settings in the printer driver or application as described in the following table.
Printer profiles for each paper type that is needed when performing color management are
installed with the printer’s printer driver. You can select the profile from the printer driver’s
settings screen.
