N.B. When you send your file to the matte printer, make sure to put 'colour' in your file title so that the guys who print it off for you know to change the printer over to colour (as greyscale is its default).

 |
| Choose either choose the Epson 7900 Luster printer or the Epson 4000 Matte printer (with this one there is a colour or greyscale version) |
 |
| Look at the different 'Rendering Intent' options with 'Preview' and 'Simulate Paper Colour' ticked and choose the best option for what you want your image to look like printed. |
 |
| When printing choose the paper size most relevant for your image size (so there is little to no wastage). The matte paper printer prints at 17 inches wide and the luster paper printer prints at 16 inches wide. |
 |
| Make sure the 'Printer Profile' matches the printer you want to print from and the one you looked at in 'Proof Setup'. |
 |
| Adding crop marks can make cropping you image easier - especially if you have a white border around you image. |
 |
| You can print onto plain A3 or A4 paper using normal uni printers to test the resolution of your image without wasting money. |
