To print targets for creating custom profiles

A target is a document you use when creating a custom profile. Generally, a target document with swatches is
supplied as part of a third-party color management software package. You print this document with all color
management turned off in both Photoshop and the printer driver. The third-party measuring instrument reads or
scans the printed target to create the custom profile.
Open the color target document in Photoshop.
