Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Gray-lab profile in PS color settings

2006-02-09 by Roy Harrington

Hi Paulo,

When you are printing a stepwedge for linearization or ICC profiling, no
color management should be used.   So don't assign or convert working 
spaces
and print with NO COLOR MANAGEMENT.  The idea is to pass "raw" stepwedge
data to the driver when printing for linearization or profiling.
