Using Printer Driver Color Management in Adobe Photoshop


Select Relative Colorimetric as the Rendering setting.

Note: If your image contains very saturated colors, select Perceptual. This reduces the color saturation so that the colors fit within the printer’s color gamut.

Select EPSON Standard (sRGB) or Adobe RGB for Color Settings.

If you’re printing from an Epson Stylus Pro 4880, 7880, 9880, or 11880 printer and your prints are coming out dark, click on Advanced Color Settings and change the default Gamma setting from 2.2 to 1.8 (previous Epson Stylus Pro printer models have a default Gamma setting of 1.8). Click Basic when done.

Set print color management

You can specify whether Lightroom or the printer driver handles color management during printing.
If you want to use a custom printer color profile created for a specific printer and paper combination, Lightroom handles the color management. Otherwise, the printer manages it. If Draft Mode Printing is enabled, the printer automatically handles color management.
