Guys
I think the issue for me here is that in X Colorsync Utility default
profiles are offered for each device and the ones for Epsons are
apparently sourced from inside a locked plug in which contains them all
and is installed by Epson, I think.
[Shame the file window in the Colorsync Utility cuts the ends off all
the profile names off (it does here anyway) - giving a list of 7
options all called EPSON Stylus Photo 12, you can click each to get
details but it's hardly handsome??] Since we still have X saving files
with a creation date 7 hours into the future I doubt X is quite ready
for clients yet!!??
So - since we cannot select <none> for the printer here - does that
mean there is an effect when we print patches, I guess not since PS
apparently [I'm told] still offers <same as source> and does not
appear to be looking to the colorsync utility for any default profile.
Would the CSync Utility defaults only be for programs with no
capabilities?? This is what the online help suggests.
I guess that means we can profile Epsons with NoColorAdj and have the
option to try Photoreal too as suits the device - without the worry of
a profile somehow being applied in the guts of X when we are printing
the patches.

I can only speak for the Epson 1270, but the OS X 1270 driver has a

Isn't NoColorAdjust about disabling driver corrections - it still
allows driver profile application (via Photoshop's additions to the
driver) I'd have hoped NCA had nothing to do with disabling default
profiles [or have I lost my place in this thread??] ;-}
