Let Photoshop determine printed colors
If you have a custom color profile for a specific printer, ink, and paper combination, letting Photoshop manage colors often produces better
results than letting the printer manage colors.
1. Choose File > Print.
2. Expand the Color Management section at right.
3. For Color Handling, choose Photoshop Manages Colors.
4. For Printer Profile, select the profile that best matches your output device and paper type. If there are any profiles associated with the
current printer, they are placed at the top of the menu, with the default profile selected.
The more accurately the profile describes the behavior of the output device and printing conditions (such as paper type), the more
accurately the color management system can translate the numeric values of the actual colors in a document. (See
5. (Optional) Set any of the following options:
Specifies how Photoshop converts colors to the destination color space. (See
Preserves the shadow detail in the image by simulating the full dynamic range of the output device.
6. (Optional) Below the print preview, select any of the following:
Select to view image colors in the preview area as they will actually print.
Enabled when Match Print Colors is selected. Select to highlight out-of-gamut colors in the image, as determined by the
selected printer profile. A gamut is the range of colors that a color system can display or print. A color that can be displayed in RGB may
be out of gamut for your current printer profile.
Sets the color white in the preview to the color of the paper in the selected printer profile. This produces a more
accurate print preview if you're printing on off-white paper such as newsprint or art papers that are more beige than white. Since absolute
white and black create contrast, less white in the paper will lower the overall contrast of your image. Off-white paper can also change the
overall color cast of the image, so yellows printed on beige paper may appear more brown.
