ABSTRACT
This chapter provides additional tips and advice on setting up an inkjet printer, as well as instructions on how to make custom profiles, how to soft proof in Photoshop, plus how to create CMYK proof prints. Although inkjets use CMYK inks or CMYK plus the additional inks, they work best when they are fed RGB data. The Epson Stylus Pro range of printers are marketed as a good choice for photographic print output because they use specially formulated inks and print with six or more ink colors, which can yield superb results. A print produced on older Epson printers can at first look quite green in the shadows, but after a few hours the ink colors will stabilize and the green cast eventually disappears. The Preserve Numbers option can be useful for proofing how a CMYK file in a specific space will print if sent to a known CMYK space.
