One other detail I neglected to mention: I chose "As Is" for the Print Colors field of the Output tab, which is intended to pass the raw data direct through to output even if it were tagged.

I'm concerned because the target printouts are obviously skewed, and I can generate excellent profiles using the Epson driver. There are numerous light patches where there is no visible color. Target charts printed from the Epson driver (with no color management) are considerably darker.

I haven't yet reprinted the targets out of Photoshop (which I trust -- I'm still experimenting with Quark 6' s output), but my intention is to optimize them for use (particularly the CMYK) when printing from Quark.

Any clues before going off into a paper-wasting episode? Assuming that I can get a usable printout, what is the preferred dither algorithm -- adaptive hybrid, Eventone, or ???
