Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ernst

For colour target printing I am currently printing from EyeOne Match.

I am looking to run QTR Create ICC for an Advanced B&W randomised greyscale wedge.  (I am having all sorts of problems with CS5 not allowing me to access print settings once I have saved them for any one file but that's a different story.) I have the step wedge printed. If there are issues with this workflow I'd like to be forewarned - perhaps I should just use CS3 but I thought CS5, OS-X and Epson now played ball nicely.

1. Open unprofiled target tiff and leave un-colourmanaged (no profile assigned)

2. Print with Printer Manages Colours (so no profile is assigned by PS) and Print Settings set in the driver dialogue window (saving these before returning to the PS window is causing the issues above). These include Color Matching = Epson Color Controls and the Adv B&W colour settings.

I downloaded Profilemaker and installed MeasureTool but note that Measuring is no longer allowed without a dongle - hence the need for some other software to read the printed chart.

On a related point, does anyone know if when one makes the upgrade from i1 Photo Pro and Match to the new (Lion supported) i1 Profiler software a tool similar to MeasureTool is part of the suite?

Regards
