Question
In the Printer, under color matching, if one clicks on colorsync, one has to choose a profile. The default is automatic. I have already chosen my printer/paper profile in the color managing box. Do I chose the same profile, chose Adobe RGB, or leave it as Automatic. This is awkward having two locations to chose a profile. Thanks. Jillnm
Hello Jill,
I am not really familiar with how the profiling works on your printer. I would try to make your desired profile the default if you do not need to change it all the time. Yes, you need to select the same profile from Indesign, but, you could also leave it as Automatic (Do not color manage - I believe), this will allow the printers profile to overide anything embedded in your files and should come out correctly.
Thanks,
Ken Black
