don’t look like I expected

Calibrate
the printer

we expect, right?

Printer Manages Colors
&
You need
to ensure that...
But we use different
applications to print
Don’t worry, at
the end it’s the
printer
that has
to do the
Color
Management
Most of the time
Adobe Reader
What do you use?
OK, first check that
"Printer managed colors"
is selected
in the driver
That’s very easy, but I use Adobe
Acrobat Pro
The steps are exactly the same,
even if the app screen looks a little bit different
I also print from Photoshop!
Even easier!
In the same
screen you send to print,
you also choose
“Printer Manages Colors”
Saturation?
Perceptual?
Relative
Colorimetric?
Absolute
Colorimetric?
I don’t have a clear idea in what to
choose as rendering intent
in Photoshop
As a rule of thumb use:
Perceptual
-Photos, Images
Relative Colorimetric
-Line art, Logo graph
Absolute Colorimetric
-Simulate paper
Saturation
-Business graphics like charts
Occasionally,
I print
directly from the
application
Follow the same steps
Printer managed colors!
...in printer!
...and application!
Now I finally get the right
colors with the tips that
Andy from HP has given us!
