First set up your color management environment in Photoshop and assign a
profile to your image. Then select your print settings and print (the steps show
Photoshop CS4 screens).
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.
