jackamus Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have a custom colour profile that I use with PhotoShop. How do I use it with AD when I print?

jackamus Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thanks for this and I'm happy to check it out but how do I get to it from AD?

jackamus Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm not very good at this sort of thing so this is how I would like to see it work. Everything I do is either viewed on the computer or I want to print it on my inkjet printer or send the file to a commercial printer. To keep it simple what is the best way for me to set up my computer so that what I print resembles what I see on the screen? I do have a customised colour profile for my Epson printer that I use in Phtoshop but even that seems to have gone awry. This may be due to the inks I use as I have swapped different kinds I'm currently printing a full colour calendar sample for subsequent commercial printing but in order to get the colour right I'm manually adjusting the ink on my printer. I had to reduce the magenta from the default '0' to -16 (-24 is the min) to reduce the redness of the image. Perhaps someone could me more specific advice?

Either you accidentally hit the correct color with manual corrections, or calibrate the printer.

jackamus Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 I think I will find it easier to manually adjust the printer until I'm happy with the printed image compared to the monitor. I have a calibration colour chart on file so I will use that for comparing the adjustments although a colour photo might be easier to evaluate.
