QTR-Quadtone RIP

I was also having problems with profiles in snow Leopard. I got what I believe is the correct answer from XRite.

The problem has to do with Apple and version 4 ICC color profiles and is explained for the ColorMunki at the following site:

A similar fix is warranted for the Eye-1 system.

XRite has posted Snow Leopard compatible updates for their software.

The bottom line is that Snow Leopard does not recognize the Type 4 profiles (which everyone uses). The solution is to regenerate your profiles as Version 2 ICC - I tried it and it works beautifully - at least for color.
