Adobe Photoshop 4.0

These tables are used to convert to and from CMYK.

2. Select Build Tables Using ICC Profiles.
3. From the Profile drop-down list box, select HP CLJ4550 SWOP CMYK PS.

Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and 5.5
Adobe Photoshop allows separate settings for the RGB setup and CMYK setup in the File-> Color Settings dialog.
The RGB setup applies to RGB images while the CMYK setup applies to CMYK images. When printing from
Photoshop, the color space should be set to RGB Color or CMYK color to print without any color conversions.
Choosing an ICC profile for the Color Space causes Photoshop to convert from the current setup setting to the
color space defined in the ICC profile. This can be used to convert from one color space to another such as RGB
to CMYK or to a different version of the same space such as to convert from one RGB space to sRGB for the
HP4550.
1. In the Print dialog box, select the desired profile HP CLJ4550 sRGB or HP CLJ4550 SWOP CMYK PS. In
addition, the built in sRGB choice in Photoshop can be used.
2. Do not select PS Color Management or Printer Color Management.
3. (Optional) From the Render Intent drop-down list box, select the intent you wish to use. (Perceptual is
recommended for uses.)
