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. Choose Color Management from the pop-up menu.
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
Install a profile .)
5. (Optional) Set any of the following options.
Specifies how Photoshop converts colors to the destination color space. (See About rendering intents .)
Preserves the shadow detail in the image by simulating the full dynamic range of the output device.
Enabled when you let Photoshop manage color. 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.
6. Access the color management options for the printer driver from the Print Settings dialog box, which automatically appears after you click
Print. In Windows, click the Preferences button to access the printer driver options. In Mac OS, use the pop-up menu from the Print Settings
dialog box to access the printer driver options.
