One more comment about how to get OSX drivers to print without color management.

OSX 10.5.x and earlier, in the Print dialog (only need to do 1 thing):

- Choose "Off - No Color Management" (after choosing your paper type and output resolution)


OSX 10.6.x and later, in the Print dialog (must do 2 things correctly):

- Choose "Epson Color Controls" (not ColorSync) in the Color Matching pane of the Print dialog

- AND choose "Off - No Color Management" in the Color Management pane


We're also assuming that you're printing directly from Spyder3Print to the 4000 through the
standard Epson driver. If you're going through any other driver interface or RIP: there's no
guarantee that you're going to be able to turn off color management; what happens is determined
by the guts of the non-Epson software that would then be sitting between you and the printer.

(and if you can't turn off color management, it's impossible to build a "good" profile for
a printer)
