Hmmm... what does the checkbox next to "use color management" (or
some such -- I don't have it running right now) in ColorChoice do
then?
In Version 3.0 the color management INPUT determines whether or not
the RIP refers to profiles chosen in the CMYK/RGB/GRAY parameter
boxes. These define the profiles/colorspaces used in the files you
are attempting to print.
The Output profile (media profile) still characterizes color data to
the printer through the RIP particular to the type of media you are
using. To output a RAW file (i.e. a test chart for media
characterization), those media profiles need to removed from the ICC
Profile folder in the RIP software, it then defaults to none and,
with INPUT off, data being sent to the printer is not undergoing any
conversion except that which happens in the base tables defining the
ink group for the printer. So, in effect: no input profile, no output
profile.
Is it different for you? (I still haven't received my version 4.0!)
