Turn o color management for your printer
For best results, you should turn o color management in your printer when printing a photo
using Aperture. By default, most printers are set to convert the photo to the printer’s color space.
However, Aperture is designed to perform this conversion internally. Each printer manufacturer
creates its own Print dialog. This means the setting for turning o color management in your
printer varies depending upon the manufacturer of your printer and the printer model.
Note: If you have multiple printers connected to your computer, you should create a print preset
and turn o color management for each printer.
m Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your printer.
For more information about using the Aperture onscreen proong feature, see Set up the Viewer
for onscreen proong on page 172.
