This process is almost exactly the same as step 4 except that in this case our destination space is a printer. Select Image-> Mode-> Convert to Profile and select the printer profile that you wish to use from the drop down menu as shown in figure 8. A printer profile is created using a specific ink-paper-resolution-printer combination that must be used every time that particular profile is used. For example, lets say I create two profiles for my Epson 777 printer, one for glossy paper at 1440 dpi, and one at 720 dpi on matte paper. I might decide to call the first ep777glossy1440_9-26-02.icc and the latter ep777matte720_9-26-02.icc.

Figure 8.

Once my image has been converted into the correct printer profile I am ready to send it to print.
