Officejet Pro 8610

I want Photoshop to manage my colors when I print, but I can't find how to disable color management in my HP Officejet Pro 8610. How do I do this?

Windows

 

Control Panel > icon view > Color Management 

tab Devices

next to Device > click the drop down menu > select your printer

Check box "Use my settings for this device"

Profile selection > click the drop down menu > select Manual

Click Add 

Add your Profile from the available list or "Browse" to find and add a profile of your own

After the profile is added, "Set ad Default Profile"

Close the window

 

You can also "Add" a profile in tab "All Profiles" of the Color Management menu.

For more information, click the link in the menu "Understanding color management settings"

Thanks so much for replying! But I realized I forgot to mention I'm on a Mac computer. Do you know how to do it on a Mac? Thanks!

You are welcome.

 

Sorry, no "experience based" idea about Mac OS.  Rats. 

 

A quick search in Google for "mac OS color management profile" brought up a "bunch" of results...

For example...

 

Install an ICC color profile on Mac OS X

 

How to Find and Install a Color Profile for a More Accurate Monitor on Windows and macOS

 

 

From RedRiver Paper:

Diagnosing Print Quality & Color Management Troubles in OSX

 

From Apple for MacOS Mojave

ColorSync Utility User Guide

 

About ColorSync (in Mac):

where can I find the ICC profiles on my computer?

 

In general, sometimes the paper companies provide ICC profiles (RedRiver, for example).  How this translates into the printer colors for a particular printer is not something I can address.

 

Your MacOS Photoshop software (or the website for Photoshop) may also have information.
