Introduction
For the most precise color in your prints, you can use profiles designed specifically
for your printer model and paper type. Basic profiles are installed with your
printer driver, and you may also have downloaded Premium ICC profiles from
Epson when you installed your printer software (or you can download them from
http://www.epson.com/SPR2880Profiles

Print With Adobe Photoshop
First set up your color management environment in Photoshop and assign a
profile to your image. Then select your print settings and print (the steps show
Photoshop CS3 screens).
Note:
Assigning a profile to your image doesn’t alter it, only the interpretation of it by your
software and how it appears on your monitor and in a printout. This is the best way to
improve the color balance and contrast in your image.
