Title: printing from InDesign.
Post by: designpartners on November 21, 2013, 04:15:38 pm
Hi All,

we normally print from lightroom or photoshop. we have a colour managed workflow on certain PC's but some of our users who create presentations to be sent out of house use bright screens.

normally when printing images created on these systems from lightroom, I simply brighten the image slightly and it works well - we do a test print.

but printing from indesign, I don't see an easy way to handle this. anybody know a solution? an easy way to brighten a multipage (from 5-50) page presentation?

Thanks for any help

James

If you are not printing colour managed the simplest way to do this would be to use any adjustments available in the printer dialogue – if it allows you any.  To be absolutely clear, any adjustments would be courtesy of the printer driver – so click "Printer…" on the first page of the InDesign Print dialogue.  For my printer some adjustments, including brightness, come-up under 'Color Options'.  BTW I'm on a Mac.  Hope this helps.

I'd love an answer to this.  A workaround I've used is to export to HQ JPG and print from Qimage as I usually do. 

I can't recall if InDesign automatically changes the profile to sRGB when exporting to JPG.  I believe it's manageable.
