Operation Manual

To use onscreen proofing, choose the proofing profile that most closely matches the
characteristics of the final output device, and then turn on onscreen proofing. When
onscreen proofing is turned on, the image is converted using the selected profile before
it is sent to the printer.

Turning Off Color Management in Your Printer
For best results, you should turn off color management in your printer when printing an
image using Aperture. By default, most printers are set to convert the image 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 off
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 off color management for each printer.
To turn off color management for your printer
µ
Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your printer.
