Adim,
Thanks John!
No problem. You're welcome.
But... Are you telling me that every printed Postscript job on OS X is
sent
to the printer as device independent color?!
Almost every job. Apps that generate their own PostScript handle their
own color management. Their PostScript just gets passed through the
printing system, virtually untouched.
Questions:
1. Can I disable this behavior? How else print a test chart for
measuring an
ICC-profile, just as an example of when I would like to disable
Postscript
color management...
There is no way to "disable" this on Jaguar (or earlier). You could
print from an application that generates its own PostScript, like
Photoshop, and do the color management therein. On Panther, you can
assign a non-RGB profile (Gray or CMYK) as the printer profile, then
tag the source color data with this profile.
2. Although CSA->CRD color matching actually can work, under extremely
controlled circumstances, it normally creates more trouble than
benefit, at
least thats my experience. If I would like to register an output
profile
for my Postscript printer (even if this is sent to the printer as a
CRD), is
there any way to do that, or am I stuck in a hard wired workflow?
There are
many printers out here that dont allow changing CRD's easily...
Jaguar's behavior cannot be changed. You could print from an app that
generates its own PostScript and have the app do the match, or save
files as PDF, then print from Reader. Panther will let you choose the
output profile and do on-host matching.
