When you are ready to use your ICC profile to print an image, you need to go to File>Print with Preview. In “Print with Preview” dialog box you will see your image in the top left hand corner. If you wish to use the “Scale to Fit Media” option you are now free to do so. In the “How to get a print profile” workshop we un-ticked this box to print the target profile. Under your image preview, click the arrow on the right hand side to select “Colour Management”. In the “Print” box select “Document (Profile sRGB IEC6199-2.1)”. In the “Options” box select “Let Photoshop Determine Colours” from the Colour Handling Menu. In the “Printer Profile” box, click the arrow on the right hand side and select the printer profile you have just installed. The “Rendering Intent” should be set to “Perceptual” and the “Black Point Compensation” should be ticked. Then click Print.

Note: Using Custom Settings on A3 Papers.
The custom settings we used to create the profiles were all based around A4 paper. So when we load the custom settings the paper will default to A4. If you are printing on A3 paper you will need to change your paper size. How do we do this?
Follow the instructions below for your printer type to load the custom settings for your printer. Just before you click Ok to print the image, go into the paper options and change the paper size to A3.

In the “Custom Settings” drop down menu select “Fuji Prem Gloss”, (you will need to select the custom name you created in the “How to get a print profile” workshop) this will load all the settings we created to print the target file on the Fuji Premium Gloss paper, (see note above for A3 papers), Click Ok. (Follow onto “Finally, All Printers”, below).

Printing, Using Custom Settings, Epson 1400 Series, R1800, R1900 and R2400
When printing with Epson 1400 Series, R1800, R1900 and R2400, you firstly need to navigate your way onto the advanced page of your printer properties dialog box as you did to create the settings for the target print profile. Once on this page, Click the arrow next to the “Custom Settings” box, located in the bottom left hand corner of the print properties box. In the “Custom Settings” drop down menu select “Fuji Prem Gloss”, (you will need to select the custom name you created in the “How to get a print profile workshop”) this will load all the settings we created to print the target file on the Fuji Premium Gloss paper, (see note above for A3 papers), Click Ok. (Follow onto “Finally, All Printers”, below).

Printing, Using Custom Settings, All Other Printers.
If you are using a printer other than those listed above, you need to follow the same procedure you used to create the custom settings for printing the target file. By following this procedure you will be able to locate and load the custom settings, (see note above for A3 papers).

Finally (All Printers)
After clicking OK in your printer properties dialog box, the custom settings you created to produce the target print file will be loaded. The printer will now use the ICC profile and your custom settings to produce a perfectly colour balanced print for your printer, paper and ink combination.
You can create many different ICC profiles for varying combinations of paper and inks, but remember to name the custom settings relating to those combinations. This makes it easy to identify and load the correct settings for the paper and ink combination you are using.
