For the printer profile, saal should tell you what to use. Depends on what paper its printing on.
Indeed, they actually provide an ICC profile for the paper. So this is what I should set for the printer profile?
Edit: Seems that those are soft proof profiles that are for some reason only compatible with Adobe products…
when you export a pdf you have an option “intended output” and you can choose screen or printer
if printing ideally choose a profile for the paper type, coated or uncoated, depending on the printer type this might not matter as much, if it’s a toner based one then it won’t potentially soak into the paper as much as ink would
In case it is useful for future readers: After digging through the Saal documentation, I came to the conclusions that I can probably enable the color management in the document settings but should keep it at “Screen/Web” (or whatever it was called exactly, I’m not at the PC right now) in the PDF export settings. This means I didn’t have to bother with printer profiles.
Indeed the resulting print looked the same as an earlier test print where I uploaded photos directly.
