1.1 How to Install Your Printer Profile

When you receive your custom profile from us, the profile will be delivered as an

attachment to your email. To install the profile, you must first save it on to the hard drive of your

computer (you could put it straight into the location where the operating system will recognise it as

a profile, but we would recommend creating a copy of the profile elsewhere first).

Most email software have an option to save the attachments, so choose or create a folder to

put the profile into, and save the profile into that location. When you save the profile, please don’t

change the name –the profile name is hardcoded into the profile, and you would need to get in

touch with us to get it changed.

Step 1

Using Finder, go to the location

where you have saved the profile

(the file will have a .icc extension).

Click on the file and select Copy....

Step 2

Go to the top menu for Finder, and

select Go. From the menu that

appears, select Go to Folder....

Step 3

Enter the folder name which you

want to use for the profile. This

has to be one of the following :

/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

This directory makes the profile

visibile to all users.

/Users/___/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

(where ___ is your username)

This directory makes the profile

visible only to the current user.

Click the Go button.

Step 4

In the new folder, click and select

Paste Item (you can also do this by

going to the Edit option in the top

menu for Finder).

Step 5

As this is a system folder, you will

likely get this warning message.

You will need to enter your

password to authorise this change.

2.1 Guide for Using Your Profile with Photoshop CS5

Step 2

In the top right-hand

corner of the Print

down to Color

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.

sure this is set up the
