I am having a printing issue between photoshop and print from PDF.

in Photoshop, I print a RGB file with the Adobe RGB (98) profile

I tried to make a PDF file from Photoshop with the same configuration,
embedding the Adobe RGB (98) profile

When I print with my Epson Pro 9890, I configure both prints with
Adobe RGB 98. In photoshop il let the printer manage colors

However, the prints are different, especially the greens come out
totally different. Why?

Is there a way to save my Photoshop print configuration in the PDF?

thanks

Your printer is not configured correctly, the problem is that your printer is configured to always deal with the color management (you need to change the conversion to automatic).

When you print from preview, the preview/PDF reader applies a color conversion before printing*, it sends the file to the printer and the printer makes another color conversion, which results in incorrect colors.

When you print from Photoshop and you let the printer do the color conversion, Photoshop only sends the file and the printer takes care of the rest, that's why you see the correct colors, because there is only one color conversion.

If you are working with MAC and you want to let the printer manage colors, I suggest you to always print from Photoshop, that's how I deal with that problem.

*if you have it configured that way.
