							The Features of Print Plug-In
The main features of Print Plug-In are as follows. •This software can automatically recognize the color space of images for  sRGB and Adobe RGB and can automatically
set  those  images  to  an  optimum  profile.  Thus,  printing  of  Adobe  RGB  is  made  possible  without  performing  tedious
settings.
• This  software  can  directly  process  image  data  on  Photoshop,  and  can  send  that  image  data  to  the  printer.  This  allows
processing not only RGB8bit image data, but also RGB16bit image data.
• By  using  the  preview  function  for  images  based  on  real  images,  and  the  preview  function  for  layouts  based  on  image
positioning by media size, you can use this software to make color adjustments and confirm print layout.
• You can perform basic printer settings such as printer selection, media type and output profile selection, and matching
methods,  in  addition  to  borderless  printing  and  enlargement/reduction  process  without  growing  through  the  printer
driver.
• By  using  the  print  history  management  function,  you  can  import  past  print  settings  parameters.  Additionally,  you  can
save preferences as a file.Note• The media type, image size, detailed media settings, and the printer settings can cause the actual print output
to  differ  from  the  Print  Plug-In  settings  (the  arrangement  of  the  image  in  the  layout  preview,  the  print  start position, and the media size).
• Loss of gradation in dark areas can be reduced by performing black point compensation.
Note•Adobe CMM is required in order to use the black point compensation function.
• You can perform printing press simulation printing by specifying the printing press profile.
