Epson Stylus Pro 7890 / 9890 - MacProle

Setup and Print Guide - Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 & CS5

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, ensure the correct Epson (OEM) driver and MacProle have been
installed. For assistance with driver and prole installation, refer to the Installation Guide.

Photoshop’s color space needs to be set to the working space in which the MacProle was created. This
allows for a more accurate screen display of your images. However, the accuracy of the displayed image on
your monitor depends more on the quality of the monitor and, more importantly, whether or not it has been
calibrated with the Monitor Manufacturer’s ICC prole.
