color

4. In the Simulate section, check Paper White to simulate the way the image will look on paper
(according to the paper that is defined in the working CMYK space).
5. Click the Profile pop-up, and select one of your printers from the list. Click OK. Notice that the
profile you selected appears in the document’s title bar.

6. Press Ctrl+Y to toggle Proof Colors off. The document’s title bar now shows the parenthetical
information (RGB/8), meaning it is in RGB mode with 8 bits per channel.

7. Choose File Page Setup to open the Page Setup dialog box, as shown in Figure 2.11. Here you
can choose the print device (click the Printer button), paper size, and orientation of the print.
Click Landscape and then click OK. (This step doesn’t have anything to do with producing
consistent color, but should be done before the following Print With Preview step.)
8. Choose File Print With Preview to open the Print dialog box shown in Figure 2.12. Check
Show More Options if it isn’t already checked.
