This is recommended when you want to make the most of wide color spaces and the printer's gradation. This reduces matching colors on the display. Color management set in the printer driver is not saved to the image data.
The following two points are important for color management settings.
Disable the color management settings in the application and enable those in the printer driver.
Set Color Settings to match the color space of the image (sRGB/Adobe RGB) to print in the printer driver.
When using applications featuring a color management function, specify how to adjust colors from these applications.
