There are numerous detailed tutorials regarding the print module of Lightroom, this will be a brief overview, beginning with how to add newly installed ICC Profiles to the Lightroom menu. The button locations given in this tutorial assume you are using the standard workspace.

  2. Click the Page Setup button in the lower left of the screen
  3. Select your printer and paper size, and click OK
  4. On the right side of the screen, select your print size, margins, etc
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the print settings to the Color Management pane
  6. If you are printing with a newly installed ICC profile, you will need to add it to the list of profiles available in Lightroom. This only needs to be done once following the installation of a new profile
    1. Click on the Profile menu, scroll to the bottom, and select Other
    2. A window will open listing all the ICC profiles installed on your computer in alphabetical order

    4. If you installed multiple profiles, check the box for each one you would like added to Lightroom

  10. In the new window that opens, choose the printer and paper size. From the drop down menu (MacOS) or tabs (Windows) select your paper type (media setting) and other print settings. In Windows set the printer color mode to ‘Off – no color adjustment’. This may be set automatically by Lightroom, but it helps to double-check.
