Thanks for the reply James, very comprehensive.
There seems to be quite a difference on a mac. When Photoshop manages colours I see no easy way to disable printer colour management. If I go to print settings > colour matching I see 2 greyed out options. ColorSync or Vendor. ColorSync is selected.
Datacolor have as a download a Generic RGB profile that, when used, effectively disables colour management.
As CS6 no longer offers the option to turn off colour management Adobe have a free bit of software > http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
This is the way I printed out my targets:
- Open Colorsync Utility and assign the Datacolor Generic RGB profile to my printer. Hopefully this disables the printer colour management.
- Print the targets using the Adobe Color Printer Utility.
As it would be much nicer to print the targets directly from the Spyder Print software would this workflow work?
- Open Colorsync Utility and assign the Datacolor Generic RGB profile to my printer.
- Print from the Spyder Print software.
I just wanted to be sure that I'm printing the targets correctly.
