Step 6
Return to that Profile pop-up menu in the Print Job panel. Your paper profiles for your printers are now available as choices in the menu. With the kind of photo I’m printing in this example (a red sports car), I probably don’t want to print to a textured fine art paper like Velvet Fine Art, so instead I choose the Premium Luster profile, abbreviated in the pop-up menu as SPR2400 PremLuster BstPhoto.icc, as shown in Figure 6. (SP is short for Stylus Photo, by the way.)
You’ve set up Lightroom so it knows exactly how to handle the color for that printer on that particular type of paper. This step is really key to getting quality prints—and, at the end of the day, it’s all about the print.
