P P USING A PRINTER PROFILE (FOR MAC OS X)
URE ROFILES
Step 3

Click on the Printer
Profile drop-down and
select the profile that
you have installed.

If the profile does not
appear, then please
check the earlier
installation instructions.
The profile will appear
with the name that you
entered when you placed
your order.
Step 4

Select the Rendering
Intent, based on the
content of the photo.
Perceptual is
recommended as the
best option for
photographic images
with saturated colours or
shadow detail. Out of
gamut (unprintable)
colours are remapped
broadly to printable
colours in order to keep
the overall colour and
contrast, at the expense
of a little accuracy. This is
a good choice for general
photography.
Relative Colorimetric is
the most accurate option
for in gamut colours, but
out of gamut colours are
more compressed in
their remapping to
printable colours.
