For the most precise color in your prints, you can use profiles designed
specifically for your printer model and paper type. Basic profiles are installed
with your printer driver. For a list of the profiles and their corresponding
media types, see page 192 (roll paper types) or page 197 (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. 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:
