Re: Profiling epson color laser

How complicate to profile a PostScript color laser? In fact, I need 
to profile a Hp PS color laser cp3505 & I'm still finding how to 
disable the color management.

I don't quite get what you means here?

I use [wincolor] utility to compare them

I select Color Adjustment w/ no color adjustment & gamma = 2.2.

If you think the color adj is the right way to go, the created 
profile with extremely small color gamut (get too much gamut warning 
when soft-proof a CMYK test image, as compared to Hp color laser) 
should be correct. I just can't understand why the gamut of the 
canned profile has the same size as sRGB. Rgds!
