I had one further thought (danger warning). If IDCS2 worked fine
(in terms
of this dark printing issue) with profiles created from targets
printed from
Photoshop then why doesn't selecting Emulate InDesign 2.0 CMS OFF
in color
policies and printing with the original profile solve the problem?
Adobe changed something with IDCS3 and it no longer prints the same
as PSCS3 or IDCS2. And I have already mentioned there that there is a
difference between with PPC or Intel versions. There was a thread on
the Adobe forums about this where someone (not sure about an official
Adobe position) that that is the way it is and said the problem is in
the print drivers. Now why PS prints the way it did and if we will
see the same change in the next version of PS I do not know.
As for selecting Emulate InDesign 2.0 CMS OFF you will not be able to
select a printer profile. This setting is the same as ID2.0 when you
turned CMS OFF or when you print with PS and select No Color Management.
What you will notice if you get a profile target printed with IDCS3
running on a PPC chip with CMS turned off is that it will be a bit
darker than the same target print from PS with CMS off in the print
dialog. What will even puzzle you more is when you get a target
printed with IDCS3 running on a Intel chip it will be even darker and
with a more bluest cast.
The good news is that crating a profile for each of these scenarios
will will make everything look the same. And, that really is your
only option.
I've suggested to the 2 guys in question that they give that
setting a try
with their current profiles (the ones which are printing colour
accurate but
too dark in CS3) and get back to me. It sounds too simple but...
On the PPC side with IDCS3 they might be able to get by with setting
in the printer driver less ink density or lighten depending on the
option available in the driver. But, that is trial and error, guesswork.
