Colorsync Utility-Change Default Profile For Device
chris mcfarling - 12:24am Oct 15, 2003 Pacific
I'm curious if someone on this list could shed some light on some questions
I have.
I've been testing color management on an Epson 7600 using OS 10.2.6. One
thing that isn't clear to me is how the Epson print driver utilizes
ColorSync.
I'm aware that the best way to print out of Photoshop to an Epson printer in
a color managed workflow is to use Photoshop's Print With Preview feature
and assign profiles there, while turning off color mgmt. in the print
driver.
However, if I instead wanted to print using the ColorSync option in the
Color Management pane of the Print dialog box, I'm not clear on what exactly
happens.
In the devices section of ColorSync Utility, my Epson 7600 is listed under
the Printers. Under that, there are 18 different profiles listed, one for
each type of paper that's been factory tested. The profile named "Pro 7600
Standard_PK" is marked as the default profile, signified by a blue dot next
to its name in the 'Default' column.
When I print using the print driver's ColorSync color mgmt. setting, is this
default profile the one that's used to make the conversion or does it use
the profile that matches the paper I selected in the Print dialog box? In
the case of the Epson 7600, which has many profiles installed with it, what
is the purpose of the default profile. Is it possible to change the default
profile and, if so, how?
I haven't found any documentation so far that can answer these questions.
The Epson docs are so underwhelmingly helpful it's not even funny. So I was
hoping someone here might know what's going on.
