When you hit print command you get another box that comes up that lists the printer name the presets, print settings, and media Type. Go to Print settings drop down menu and select colour management.Then click on " No colour Management"Set the paper to the type Paul has instucted you to and it should work.

The settings must be the same as Paul has used when he created the profile. Same paper, same ink, same colour management settings etc. Is photoshop seeing the profile.One way to do a quick visual check is to open your image go to View dropdown menu----Proof setup and choose the profile. You will then see on screen(assuming your screen is calibrated) a visual of how your imaage will look when printed. This is not exact but it does give you a good reference point for anything out of the ordinary.You can then adjust your image to how you want it to look when its printed.If you click on Gamut warning in the same menu you will see just how many colours and tones won't reproduce accurately.Have fun...Richard

Well Paul is the best geezer to help you as he made the profile for you. I use both mac and pc and it should work. Bit of a mystery this one. I take it the other printer you have, printed what you were seeing on screen?

Yes in the colour preferences settings. Not the printer settings.

Just checked the view profile settings (on screen) and you need to go to view---proof setup---custom and then choose the newprofile.Its slightly different between PC &Mac at least it is with my version of photoshop (CS2) This will give you a soft proof on screen.Won't affect the printing.
