Other Methods of Printing: Printing from Print Plug-Ins
Using print plug-ins, you can print directly from applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Digital Photo Profes-
sional.
The main features of Print Plug-In are as follows.
• You can automatically detect the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB-use images, etc., and automatically set
optimal profiles. Thus, you can print without the trouble of configuring settings.
• You can directly process image data on Adobe Photoshop, and forward the image data to a printer. In this
way, you can process 16-bit image data in addition to 8-bit image data.
• You can print an image with adjustment values such as the color balance, brightness, and contrast varying in
steps and select your preferred adjustment values.
• You can create and print a layout image for finishing by mounting in a frame with the image extended to the
sides of the frame by using the Layout Plug-In that is installed at the same time as the Print Plug-In for Photo-
shop.
• Loss of gradation in dark areas can be reduced by performing black point compensation.
• You can perform printing press simulation printing by specifying the printing press profile.
