Printing targets for custom profiles
Printing a target is for creating a custom profile. Generally, a target document with swatches is supplied as part of a third-party color management software package. When printing a target, you want to turn off all color management in both Photoshop and the print driver. Once the target is printed, it is read/scanned by a third-party measuring instrument to create the custom profile.
To print a target: - Open the color target document in Photoshop.
- Choose File > Print with Preview.
- In the Print with Preview dialog box, make sure Show More Options is selected and Color Management is chosen from the menu.
- In the Source Space area, select Document to reproduce document colors as interpreted by the profile currently assigned to the document.
- In the Print Space area, choose Same As Source from the Profile menu.
- Click the Print button.
- In the Print dialog box (for setting printer options), set the print driver for No Color Management, Color Adjustments Off, or Color Management Off.
- Click the Print button.
