5. The print settings button opens the printer's settings as opposed to Photoshop's print settings. You can check each of these setting groups specifically by using the scroll menu (labelled "Layout" in the screenshot pictured below). The only setting in the scroll menu that you need to work with are: Layout, Color Matching and Printer Settings. Layout is important as it is here where you can define the precise paper size, this is crucial if you are working with non standard paper or a paper roll.
6. In the Color Matching controls make sure that they are set to use "ColorSync" this allows the printer to interact with the ICC profile defined in Photoshop.
7. The most important controls are the options for Printer Settings. In general you will only ever have to work with the Basic settings, however if you plan to use the Advanced B+W mode you may need to look at the advanced settings to make the appropriate color temperature tweaks.
Important Settings:
Page Setup: you defined these settings in the Layout window, but you do need to let the printer know whether you are using a paper roll or the Paper Tray.
Media Type: it is really important to pick the correct paper type other the printer may not print at all (or the results will be erratic). The settings shown below are correct for the "Premier Premium Photo, Micropore Luster 10.4 MiL" used in CAMS. If you are unsure of the correct settings, check the manufacturers website or the ICC spreadsheet which is linked to in this tutorial.
Print Mode: AccuPhoto HD (this is a personal preference), but since Photoshop is managing colors, this isn't changeable.
Color Mode: Epson or Adobe the difference is not really perceivable it is worth comparing them though to come to your own conclusions No need to worry about this field since Photoshop, not the printer, is managing the colors.
Output Resolution: SuperPhoto 2880dpi this is specified by the manufacturers for the "Micropore Luster".
8. When you are finished click "Save" to store all of your settings. You will be sent back to the dialog shown in step 4, click print and you should have a beautiful print in a few minutes. Remember to allow luster a bit of time to dry, we have art handling gloves in the IdeaLab if you need to borrow some.
