Philip, The answer is a bit convoluted. First, the Pulse software works well if you disable the second monitor while generation profiles. In windows, even with the latest Matrox drivers, this requires a reboot of the computer. Second, the Pulse will load and work for print profiling, without disabling the second monitor, if you have the latest version of the Pulse software. 1.0.2 is available for download from the X-rite website. It is a very big download. You still must disable the second monitor to profile the primary monitor. I still have the EZ Color software I used before buying the Pulse. It will allow monitor profiling without disabling the second display, so for now I use EZ Color for the display and Pulse for the printers. It is necessary to remove Monaco Gamma after generating the profiles since it will not load with Pulse installed. One more point. The Matrox G450 has a single LUT. But EZ Color can still generate a profile for the second monitor that will be recognized by PhotoShop. And there is a utility that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website that will allow Windows to handle applying the monitor profiles, eliminating the need for Monaco Gamma. It installs and becomes a color profile control applet in the Windows Control Panel. George...
