Chris, I dont know what you did, but saving my testcharts in photoshop
as PDF,
opening them in Preview and printing them out from there using the Gimp-Print
driver set to RawCMYK works beautiful for my Epson.
All other trys with other apps lead to RGB prints with Scum Dots in the colors.
Or maybe Im doing something wrong ;-)
