This is not exactly on topic, but related, I think. I am trying to profile a
paper through Qimage. Qimage has several settings for color management that
seem to pertain to this under the drop down Prtr ICC. Those are:
1. OFF
2. Let printer/driver manage color
Are these the same thing? If not which should I use and what is the
difference between them?

You shouldn t use either you should be using a paper/printer profile BK ... -- I know I shall be castigated by a large group of people today, but I was

Off might not send a tag to the printer, so it would not know how to manage the color if you chose to do so later, at the driver step. Let Printer/Driver manage color should include the current color profile tag, so that its possible to convert from it to whatever output profile is desired at the Printer/Driver level. So both should be fine if you are't doing a driver level conversion, but both won't necessarily be fine (or the same) if you DO decide to do a conversion at the driver level.

I think when printing a calibration target (prior to measuring the
result and creating a profile) you wouldn't be using a profile (in
fact you wouldn't normally have one to use). I think when profiling
with S3Print this happens automatically. The difference is with Qimage
where you have to do this explicitly.
By the way Bryan, I like your galleries on Pbase. The images of the
leaves in the Tree ID gallery particularly appealed to me. I'd be
interested in learning a little bit about how you created them.
