Simple color management

Uses the printer driver color management settings

Tip 1 It is possible to have color management features turned on both in the printer driver and in a software program such as Adobe® Photoshop.® This double correction produces unsatisfactory results. Use either printer-based or application-based color management, but not both at the same time.

Tip 2 Periodically, calibrate the printer color to ensure that the printer provides consistent and accurate color reproduction on all the supported paper types. See Align and calibrate the printer.

Use the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in for Adobe Photoshop®

The HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in for Adobe Photoshop streamlines the printing process and simplifies professional color management. The plug-in provides a central dialog box for color management and other print settings. It combines settings from the printer driver and the Adobe Photoshop Print with Preview dialog box so you no longer have to make your way through a confusing maze of dialog boxes each time you print.

The HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in for Adobe Photoshop is installed automatically with the HP Photosmart printer software if you have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on the same computer.

Note Adobe Photoshop is a standalone 3rd party software product, not included with the printer.
