Hi,

I also switched from Windows to Mac and have a similar question. In my  
case I do the printing profile myself by using Printfix Pro to do my  
color profiles. Is it possible to use the the printer profiles which I  
produced under Win on the Mac, or do I have to measure them  again  
under Leopard? In that case  can I use at least the printed targets,  
or do I also have to print them again?

I think in your case by using Qimage inside, will work just by move  
the existing targets to the proper directory, because you still use  
the original Windos Epson printer driver. So there shouldn't be any  
difference in the output.

I would also like to know if it is possible to calibrate a Monitor  
running Windows inside VMFusion/Paralles by doing it this way. In my  
case I'm running a dual screen set up. Which means the 24' iMac screen  
is used for the Mac software and on the second screen I run Windows XP  
in fullscreen Mode.
First I calibrate both screens with the Colorvision for Mac software  
and then I start Windows XP and calibrate the second screen again.  
Without touching any hardware settings on the second screen.
If that would work I think it should work for parallels in a single  
display environment as well.
Has anyone ever tried that? If not I will give it a try over the  
weekend. Hopefully that will work, otherwise I have to switch my CS2  
Version from WIN to MAC.

Have a happy new Year
