Thanks John!
But... Are you telling me that every printed Postscript job on OS X is sent
to the printer as device independent color?!
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...
2. Although CSA->CRD color matching actually can work, under extremely
controlled circumstances, it normally creates more trouble than benefit, at
least that9s 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 don9t allow changing CRD's easily...
