Use color management when printing
When you print a color-managed document, you can specify additional color management options to keep color consistent in the printer output.
For example, suppose that your document currently contains a profile tailored for prepress output, but you want to proof the document colors on a
desktop printer. In the Print dialog box, you can convert the document’s colors to the color space of the desktop printer; the printer profile will be
used instead of the current document profile. If you select the Proof color space and target an RGB printer, InDesign converts color data to RGB
values using the selected color profiles.
When printing to a PostScript printer, you also have the option of using PostScript color management. In this instance, InDesign sends the
document’s color data in a calibrated version of its original color space, along with the document profile, directly to the PostScript printer and lets
the printer convert the document to the printer color space. The printer’s color space is stored at the device as a color rendering dictionary (CRD);
this makes device-independent output possible. CRDs are PostScript equivalents of color profiles. The exact results of the color conversion can
vary among printers. To use PostScript color management, you must have a printer that uses PostScript Level 2 or higher; it is not necessary to
install an ICC profile for the printer on your system.
While working on a color-managed document, you can use the Preflight panel to make sure that your colors conform to the guidelines you
specify.
1. Make sure that you’ve installed the correct driver and PPD for your printer.
2. Choose File > Print.
3. If a printer preset has the settings you want, choose it in the Printer Preset menu at the top of the Print dialog box.
4. Adjust settings as desired for this document.
5. Click Color Management on the left side of the Print dialog box.
6. Under Print, select Document.
7. For Color Handling, choose Let InDesign Determine Colors.
8. For Printer Profile, select the profile for your output device.
The more accurately the profile describes the behavior of an output device and printing conditions (such as paper type), the more accurately
the color management system can translate the numeric values of the actual colors in a document.
9. Select Preserve RGB Numbers or Preserve CMYK Numbers.
