Print With Adobe Photoshop CS5 3

Introduction

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, and you may also have downloaded Premium ICC profiles from

Epson when you installed your printer software.

To print using Premium ICC profiles with Adobe®Photoshop®CS3, CS4, CS5,

or Adobe Photoshop Lightroom®, follow the instructions in these sections for

your operating system:

■“Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP” below

■“Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6” on page 20

■“Mac OS X 10.4.11” on page 35

Windows 7, Windows Vista, and

Windows XP

Follow the instructions in these sections:

■“Print With Adobe Photoshop CS5” below

■“Print With Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4” on page 8

■“Print With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.4 - 3.x” on page 14

Print With Adobe Photoshop CS5

First set up your color management environment in Photoshop and assign a

profile to your image. Then select your print settings and print.

Note:

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.
