Hello,
had a question about color profile,
i just got a eye one display 2 calibration system, i calibrated my monitor, and it save a color profile.
I have a HP Photosmart d7360, and i use lightroom
when i use the print module in lightroom, under the color management tab, do i tell it to be managed by printer, or do i need to go to other and then select the color profile that was saved for my monitor?
or do i need to download a certain color profile for that printer for it to print the right colors out?

Thanks

Mike

    The display profile is totally separate from printing or any other device, its only used to produce correct previews. In LR's print module, you should be setting the color management to Application Manages Color and select the correct paper profile for your HP once you open the list and check off the profiles you wish to use.
