Paul, is that the ColorVision software? Isn't it very old by now? Is it still being sold? Does it even run on Mac OSX?

I don't know much about it, so I cannot comment on how well it performs.

"Same As Source", or "No Color Management", means that the color numbers in the file are sent to the device without being converted and assigned any specific appearance (this is analogous to the "Preserve Color Numbers" function). So, as long as one uses "Same As Source"/"No Color Management", it doesn't matter what profile is assigned to the file, because the numbers don't change by *assigning* a profile. (They change only if the file is *converted*).

Sounds like a contorted procedure. Maybe it has a logic behind it, but I am not sure what that would be. What to do next? Maybe say goodbye to ProfilerPro and try some other software package?

Whereas that is not the case when the testchart is printed through previous versions of Photoshop?

More likely the procedure is off somewhere, and/or the software is not up to the job. But that is just a guess.
