Click on the Color Profile drop down menu. You will see a long list of profiles. Scroll down until you see the correct profile for your printer and paper. All Red River Paper profiles start with "RR". Rendering Intent - We recommend Relative Colorimetric. You can also experiment with the Perceptual setting. Black Point Compensation - verify it is checked on. Now click on the PRINT button to proceed |

Next, the Apple print dialog will appear. Select the Paper Type/Quality drop down. Paper Type - You will never see the name of your Red River Paper in this listing! The drop down is only populated with HP paper names. Check your profile's instruction file (it came with the download) for the recommended media setting. Quality - We recommended Best for most HP printers. Next click on the Color Options button. |

Color Options should be grayed out. This is because you chose a color profile in Aperture above.
