How to disable Color Management using HP Inkjet 6988

Hi: When printing in Photoshop CS4 it says to make sure you turn off Color Management in your printer.
How do I turn off Color Management in my HP Inkjet 6988?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi HighHeelTech,
Follow these steps to select a color management option:
1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Color tab.
3. Click one of the following options in the Color Management drop-down list:
ColorSmart/sRGB: ColorSmart/sRGB is an appropriate option for most print jobs. It is used for most Web-based documents and current imaging devices.
AdobeRGB: When using AdobeRGB to print from a professional software program, turn off the color management in the program and allow the printer software to manage the color space. Use the AdobeRGB setting for photos that were originally created in the AdobeRGB color space.
Managed by Application: Use this option to allow the program from which you are printing to manage the color of the photo.
ICM (Image Color Management): ICM is a Microsoft technology that helps ensure that a color image, graphic or text object is printed as close as possible to its original color and helps keep its colors consistent and accurate.
4. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.

Disabling color management in canon driver

Hello
Can anyone tell me how to disable Color Management in the Printer Driver Dialogue Box for Canon (ip4000) printer?
Other AI CS4 users must have needed to do this, in accordance with the instructions in the Color management print window when printing in AICS4, as otherwise the colors just dont work when printing.
As most AI users will know the guidance says "Let Illustrator determine colors", and "dont forget to disable color management in printer driver dialogue box". How do you do that then?
I have no idea how to find the Canon printer driver dialogue box, and Canon did not seem to know what I was talking about when I phoned them - they said contact Apple or Adobe.
Grateful for any any advice.

I don't think it is stupid at all. Even home or small office printers nowadays have the capacity to turn their own colour management on and off. That does not necessarily result in implementing custom profiles though. It is just saying "don't try and match the colours by yourself" basically (although probably a bit more sophisticated in the driver's kitchen).
As for doing it on a Canon printer (make sure you follow the next steps with Illustrator closed so it can apply to all pictures you will print) :
- Open the Printing Preferences control panel of your printer,
- In the Color/Intensity section, select "Manual" and click on "Set...",
- Check that all colour adjustment sliders are at 0,
- Go to the "Matching" tab,
- In the "Color correction" drop box menu, select "None",
- Close all dialog boxes and you're done.
It has made a huge difference on my prints with a Canon ip3600 printer. They were way too reddish before, now they are as close as they can be to what I want - provided I don't have nor need any calibration hardware to make highly precise colour calibration end to end.

Need help in Disabling Color Management prior to Printing

I have PSE 10 on my MAC and need to find out how to disable color management in the printer preference catalog. Can't seem to find it.....

Click the "More Options" button at the bottom.
Select "Color Management" from the left side.
Change the Color Handling setting as desired.

How do i disable color managment Pro-100

This printer has been nothing but a headache and I'm not sure how others can get it to work...anyway. The problem is the color(specificly oranges and red). It's way off from the color on my monitor. So, I purchased a ColorMunki Dispaly and calibrated my monitor. That didn't help. Next I downloaded the Canon Print Studio Pro and when I access it through Photoshop CC, it (canon print studio) tells me the driver isn't installed for the printer....HOWEVER can print to the PRO-100 from every program on my Mac, so clearly the driver IS installed. Now I think I will try getting a custom ICC profile but in order to do that I need to disable the color management, but when I look for a radio button or some thing like that I end up just raising my blood pressure!
Can some one direct me on how I can disable color management in the PRO-100? Or if you could direct me on how to fix the color that would be great too but it seems to be much more complex issue.

See here and give this a try.

Trouble creating personal url and disabling color management in the printer preference dialog

I just purchased a new Canon Pro 9000 MKII which came with a new copy of Photoshop Elements 8. I registered the software and created a username and password successfully, but I am unable to created a personal URL for starting an online gallery. I keep getting error messages everytime I try. One message is that name is taken and the other simply says there is an error.
Second problem is when I try to print from Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 there is a message that states: " did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?" It is unclear to me how this can be done.
Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.

Log in to the web page and try some different characters e.g.

In the print dialog you need to click More Options and choose printer manages color if you want to use your printer/paper profile.

How to Enable Color Management? (DV Compression Is Lightening Gamma)

This problem has plagued me with both After Effects and Premiere. I have a project with a number of .mpeg video files (I know MPEG is a bad file choice, but it's not causing the problem--I tested this with uncompressed media also). In AE, I have a darkly lit scene with gamma turned down to produce pure blacks in the shadowy areas. When I render as DV, Windows Media, or QuickTime and play the resulting file in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic, the file has rather ugly dark grays where pure blacks should be. I read the article on color management and thought I had found the problem, but the "Use Display Color Management" option is grayed out and I've been unable to re-enable it.
Also, I don't know if this is of any major value, but the DV and Windows Media file versions look the same in Windows Media Player as they do in Media Player Classic. QuickTime files look slightly better in Classic than in the default QT player. This issue is especially confusing since the article only acknowledged that this can happen with QuickTime, whereas I'm having this problem with all formats except uncompressed. Thanks!

> How do I enable display color management?
Have you enabled color management for the project (i.e., selected a working color space for the project)? If not, please read
"Choose a working color space and enable color management" for an explanation of how to enable color management for a project.
"Enable or disable display color management" contains information on managing colors using your monitor's color profile.
You said that you read "the article on color management", by which I presume that you mean the "Color Management Workflow" white paper on the Adobe Design Center website. That paper links to the
"Color management" section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web and presumes that you'll consult that document for some of the basic underlying concepts and detailed procedures.
> And I guess it's a redundant question, but are the answers to this issue the same for Premiere as for AE?
Premiere Pro does not do color management.

Disable color management photosmart c5280

I need to disable color management on my c5280 but can find no option to do as such. Does anyone know how to disable it?

I have the same printer and the same problem. I have read in the printer helps that it is not necessary to disable color management. If a program like PS is configured to manage colors, the printer will not use their own profile. But, if you are unsatisfied for the color in printed pictures, is possible your monitor improperly calibrated. Try it fist of all.
In case you see that don't work, or want to be really sure the printer color management is not interfering your work, try to delete the color profiles in the printer set up (it is a reversible operation).
For that you have to open the control panel (or printers folder), go to printers, select HP C5280, right click and select "properties", then select "Color Management" tab. Then you can see a button named "Color management...". Click it and you will see a window with some fields and check boxes.
The first field allows you to select the device: select "HP C5280". Below, you have a check box with the text " Use my set up in this device", check it. Below that you have another field for "Select Profile". Select "Manual" (it is probably in "Automatic" the first time). Then in the bigger space below every thing, you can see the profiles. Delete all the profiles (simply click over one and then press Del key). Close the window and that's all.
Later, you can add the deleted profiles using the button "Add profiles" and revert everything.

Hot to create color profile if I can't disable color management?

I have Canon PIXMA iP4600 printer. I wanted to create custom color profile for Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper, but I can't disable color management in the Print dialog. There are two options: SolorSync (and I have to pick some color profile I'd like to use), or Canon Color Matching. There is no way to disable color management.
I tried to create custom profile by choosing Canon Color Matching, but it turned out to be way worse than the original Canon profiles. Jeans in printouts are not denim blue but ultramarine! I suspect this is because profile target was printed with some color profile enabled.
I just thought maybe there are some "fake" printer profiles out there? Profiles which don't translate anything and what goes in, comes out 1:1? This way I could work-around this problem.
My problem is that in printouts I need little bit more more saturated greens and 4-7% less red component.

Hello Guntis,
As you have seen with the Canon iP driver, there is no function to disable color management, you either select ColorSync or Canon Color Matching.
When you select ColorSync, your output will use the default profiles assigned to the paper stocks for the Canon driver. If you wanted to see the Lab plot for that particular stock, open the ColorSync application and select the Profiles pane. If you then expand the Other entry you will see all the profiles for the default paper stocks for your iP4600 and their respective color gamuts.
If you then wanted to check which paper stock matched the code names, such as SP, MP and PR, you could select to print from an application and open the Color Matching menu. If you then set the option to ColorSync and leave the Profile set to Automatic, then open the Quality & Media menu and select Photo Paper Plus Glossy and then switch the menu back to Color Matching, you will notice that there will be writing under the Profile menu, stating the profile used - in this case SP2.
If these default values are not delivering the color output you want, then I suggest you set the Color Matching menu to Canon Color Matching and then use the Color Options menu to tweak the Magenta and Cyan values to boost the greens and reduce the reds.
Note that you should also set your application to let the printer manage the color.

DISABLING COLOR MANAGEMENT & PAPER SIZE

After some struggling and considerable surfing the internet, I managed to get my HP Deskjet printer output producing the proper colors.
However I still have an ongoing problem with paper size and orientation.
I have Photoshop Elements 7 running under Windows XP.
Under the current set up, under "Page Setup" in the print dialog box, I can select 6x4 borderless and landscape orientation, but the printer will still print it in portrait orientation on 8.5 x 11" paper. I have seen many times where I have selected "Landscape" in Photoshop but the image in the preview windows shows Portrait. Or the preview is oriented portrait but the picture within the preview is a cropped landscape version of the image. Or the preview picture is landscape but the landscape-portrait button shows portrait. Obviously there are portrait images and portrait printings, but Photoshop seems to get them confused and wants to print a landscape image in a portrait orientation.
If I hit "Print" and then go to "Preferences" in the Windows printer dialog box, if I select "landscape borderless 6x4", it will print a 6x4 image on letter sized paper, ignoring the orientation and paper size I selected. And if I re-enter the Windows printer dialog box, will show "letter" again as the current paper size, although I had not selected that previously.
I have "Photoshop Elements manages colors" selected, but then a warning message appears asking if I have disabled color management in the printer preferences dialog. I cannot find any way to disable color management in Windows XP or in Photoshop. (If this has anything to do with my problem.)

How to *really* disable Color Management in PSE 7 Organizer?

After much experimenting with old versions of PSE (2 and 3 specifically) and my Canon MP530 inkjet, I have found I get the best results by disabling PSE Color Management and using the Canon printer driver to manage colors. (Even when using the supplied printer profiles in PSE, the results are too dark and typically have a heavy orange color cast.)
Now with PSE 7, I can print from the Editor, tell PSE to let the printer manage colors and get decent results. However, in the Organizer, even if Color Management is turned off in Preferences, the Print dialog box forces you to select a printer color profile, and the resulting prints are terrible.
So, is there any way to tell PSE 7 Organizer that you want your printer to manage colors? Without this option, all the printing features in Organizer are worthless to me. Thanks for the help.

Found a possible answer from the archive ...
John Rolfe Ellis - 8:43pm Jan 13, 08 PST (#1 of 4)
Unfortunately, there isn't an option for letting the printer manage colors
in the Organizer. In PSE 6, you can either select the option Print Space:
Same as Source, which sends the photo to the printer *without* the color
profile needed by the printer to manage color, or you can select a printer
profile and have PSE 6 manage color. (Thanks to Colin at Elements Village
for clarifying this for me.)
So you have three options:
1. Print only from the Editor with the printer managing color.
2. Print from the Organizer using Print Space: Same as Source and configure
your printer to assume the profile of your photos. For example, if your
photos all have the profile sRGB, then configure your printer to assume that
photos are in sRGB. The equivalent setting in the PSE 6 Editor Print is
Color Handling: No Color Management. The details depend on your photos and
your printer, of course, but most consumer cameras produce sRGB and most
consumer printers assume sRGB by default. (But evidently, either your
photo with the yellowish cast isn't sRGB or your printer isn't assuming
sRGB, so this approach may not work for you.)
3. Have PSE 6 manage color by selecting the appropriate printer profile in
the Organizer and Editor Print commands and turning off color management in
your printer. If you get this all configured properly, this will give you
the assurance of knowing who is managing color, but it does take more effort
on your part. You need to read your printer driver documentation carefully
to get it configured properly, and this often involves going to the vendor's
support knowledgebase to get the necessary documentation.

Disable color management

I've recently purchased a Spyder3 Print SR to calibrate my printer's color. In order to begin the calibration process, a page containing color patches must be printed WITHOUT COLOR MATCHING ENABLED in either the OS or the printer.
The I have an HP C6280 Photosmart printer and Max OS X 10.7.2, and I'm using the drivers included with Lion. I haven't been able to figure out how to turn off color management.
I've found videos on the vendor's website showing how to do this with Leopard and an earlier model HP printer, but I'm just not able to find the same options in Lion.
For reference purposes only, here's a ink to the video on the vendor's page: Turning off color management: HP B9180, OSX/Leopard
Can anyone help me to do the same thing in Lion?
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom,
When you print the patches, the print dialogue will appear (of course). That's where you turn off color management. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything on how that dialogue appears. The manual for your printer just says:
To change the default print settings
1. In the HP Solution Center, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click
Printer Settings.
2. Make changes to the print settings, and click OK.
Yeah, massive help there when the manual doesn't list the available settings. I was hoping to find something where you can disable automatic color adjustment at the printer permanently, but don't know if it's possible.
Anyway, look though the print dialogue and try to find any place where you can turn off ColorSync or any heading that says Color Management: Off. That also means, do not change any sliders that allow you to increase or decrease contrast, ink settings, or anything else. Make sure they are all at the defaults.

How to preserve colors when using a CMYK PDF as a texture on a 3D Layer (in a RGB document)?

Hello!
I'd like to use a CMYK PDF/Illustrator file thats coming from another designer as a label on a 3D object that I imported as a 3D Layer. The Photoshop document is in 16bit RGB mode and has the sRGB color Profile.
Are these the right requirements to stay as closely to the original CMYK colos as possible? What does the optimal workflow for this look like if the result has to be printed in the end?
Thank you and regards
Henning

You convert the CMYK document to RGB using standard color management. The rest is beside the point. We know nothing about your experience in 3D nor your actual artwork, settings, system and so on. Just slapping on a texture on a 3D model doesn't make it look "real" or even photo-realistic. You have to understand lighting, shading and how to prepare textures properly, stuff for which you can find any number of tutorials on the web (though not specifically for PS 3D).

How to determine color book used in customer-supplied PS file?

Using CS5. I am unable to open two files supplied by our client. These two files pre-date CS6, and were made by a branch of our client in Germany. We are in North America. There are many layers of bureaucracy between us and the actual creators in Germany, so communication is impossible.
An attempt at opening the files results in the error, "Could not complete your request because the specified color book cannot be found".
I am well aware of the workarounds suggested by Adobe for this problem. However, in this case it is NOT POSSIBLE to "work with the file creator", and it is NOT POSSIBLE to use a different version of PS with the correct books.
I have Color Manager, and I have cluttered up my CS5 installation with every likely-looking color book from Manager in the hopes that one of them would be the right one, but to no avail.
So. What do I do? Surely by now Adobe has created some sort of utilty that allows PS to simply tell you WHICH color book is missing so you will know which one to go and get? No?
(Update: I think I may have put this question into the wrong forum, but if so I have no idea how to correct this.)

I think I'm understanding now: While fonts are identified to PS by name, color books are identified to PS by number, and those numbers are not associated with a name that would be embedded into a document the way a font name would be.
It's appearing to me that
1) Adobe-registered color books are identified by numbers that any installation of Photoshop will recognize, provided that that PS installation is new (or updated) enough to recognize those numbers;
2) a 3rd-party number that is unregistered with Adobe will only be known to the specific PS installation which has that specific book; everybody else will only get a number which is unassociated with any color book, and the program will error.
If #2 is correct, how are color-book number conflicts avoided?
