Managing Color With Profiles
For the most precise color in your prints, you can use profiles designed 
specifically for your printer, paper, and ink type. Basic profiles are installed 
with your printer driver. For a list of the profiles and their corresponding 
media types, see page 166 (roll paper types) or page 167(cut sheet paper 
types).
Assigning a profile to your image doesn’t alter it, only the interpretation of it 
by your software and how it appears on your monitor and in a printout. This 
is the best way to improve the color balance and contrast in your image.
Follow the instructions in this chapter to use Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, or CS3 
to print with profiles using Photoshop color management (the steps show 
only CS3 screens). It’s important to turn off color management in your 
printer software when you use Photoshop color management or you’ll get 
unexpected results. See one of these sections for instructions:
“Macintosh Printing With a Color Profile” below
“Windows Printing With a Color Profile” on page 170
Macintosh Printing With a Color Profile
First you set up your color management environment in Photoshop and 
assign a profile to your image, then you select your print settings and print. 
Setting Up Photoshop and Assigning a Profile
1. Open Adobe Photoshop.
2. Select 
Color Settings from the Photoshop or Edit menu.
3. Select 
U.S. Prepress Defaults or North America Prepress 2 from 
the 
Settings menu to set Adobe RGB (1998) as the color space. Click 
OK.
4. Open the photo you want to print.
If you see an Embedded Profile Mismatch message, select 
Use the 
embedded profile
 and click OK. 
 
						

							-169
Appendix|169
If you see a Missing Profile message, select Assign working RGB: 
Adobe RGB (1998)
 and click OK.
5. When your image appears, evaluate the color balance and contrast. If 
they need improvement, select 
Image > Mode > Assign Profile or 
Edit > Assign Profile. Then select one of the following as the Profile 
setting: 
A different RGB working space, such as ColorMatch RGB or 
sRGB IEC61966-2.1

A scanner profile for your scanner
A camera profile for your digital camera
Also click the 
Preview box so you can see the effects of your profile 
choice on the screen.
6. Select 
File, then click Print or Print with Preview.
7. Click 
More Options or Show More Options, then select Color 
Management
.
8. Click 
Page Setup, select page settings as necessary, and click OK.
9. Under 
Color Handling, select Let Photoshop Determine Colors or 
Photoshop Manages Colors.
10. Under 
Profile or Printer Profile, select a profile for your printer and 
the paper you’ll use. If you’re printing with Epson Premium ICC 
profiles, select the profile that also matches the print quality you want to 
use.
11. As the 
Intent or Rendering Intent setting, select Relative 
Colorimetric
 and click the Black Point Compensation checkbox.
Selecting Print Settings and Printing
1. Click the Print button, select your printer, and select Print Settings.
2. Select the 
Media Type setting for your paper (see page 80). 
3. Set the rest of the print settings you want to use (beginning on page 77). 
Note: If your image 
contains very saturated 
colors, select Perceptual. 
This reduces the color 
saturation so that the 
colors fit within the 
printer’s color gamut.

Also click the 
Preview box so you can see the effects of your profile 
choice on the screen.
Note: Make sure that you 
select Off (No Color 
Adjustment). If you 
don’t, the printer driver 
will apply additional 
correction to the image 
data, producing 
inaccurate results.
If you selected the wrong 
combination of source 
profile, printer profile, and 
color management 
settings, you’ll get 
unexpected results.
