Using Color Management Profiles

If you’re printing in Adobe Photoshop using a color management profile created in

another program, you’ll need to turn off your printer’s color management features to

get accurate results. If you use a profile but leave your printer’s color management

features turned on, your colors won’t be correct. To turn off color management,

follow these steps:

1. Start your application, open the file you want to print, and select your custom

color management profile. (See your application documentation for details.)

2. To turn off your printer software color management, access your printer settings

dialog box; see page 9 (for Windows) or page 16 (for Macintosh).

3. Click Custom, then click Advanced. You see the Advanced dialog box.

4. Select the No Color Adjustment option on the top right of the dialog box.

5. Select the rest of your printer software settings and click OK.

Adjusting for Different Lighting Conditions

Due to the nature of all pigment-based inks, lighting conditions can affect the

appearance of colors in your printed output. For example, a print viewed in daylight

may appear to have a slightly different color balance when viewed under tungsten

lighting. This phenomenon is known as metamerism.

To minimize the effects of metamerism, the colors in your prints will look best when

illuminated by a D50 (daylight) light source. For display under a different light

source, you can optimize the appearance of colors in your prints in one of these ways:

■ Adjust the RGB color space in your application to optimize the output for your

light source.

■ Adjust the color balance of the image in your application.

■ Use third-party color management software to create a color profile that optimizes

your output for your light source.

■ Manually adjust the color controls in the printer software’s Advanced dialog box.
