Okay.
We have an OKI C5200ne LED printer.
I learned that it's not quite straightforward to print from Windows
XP: but the instructions said you could print directly to a specific
printer by loading the drivers in both OS's.
So, that made some sense. In theory, XP sends a print job to the
Windows XP printer driver, and Parallels redirects it to the OS X
printer driver.
Other than Parallels being plagued by slowdowns, the process
worked. I have to defrag the virtual HD every day, and even then XP
is just barely usable.
If I don't defrag daily, XP slows to a crawl... over thirty seconds to
respond to a menu click.
Of course, I can reboot and use Boot Camp, but that's a pain as well.
I would be happy to meet with a color consultant, but I don't know of
any in my area.
Does anyone know of a color consultant within thirty miles of Notre
Dame, Indiana?
I was kind of hoping I could print off identical reference charts in
OS X and XP and mail them to a consultant who could run a color scan
on them. Maybe tweaking the .CMM file just a bit would work.
Thanks,

Hi William,
Edmund's suggestion makes sense, as it's not going to be easy to
help you
without knowing, in details, what kind of printing pipeline you're
using, on
both the Mac and Windows. In the end, it's possible that the Mac's
implementation of the printer driver may not offer the same options
than its
Windows counterpart for any number of reasons, or that something in
the
MacOSX printing architecture may result in a somewhat different
output,
regardless of profiles selected. Can you tell us a little more about
your
printer? Which Windows OS you're in?

Hi.
This is my first post.
My name is William Carr, I have a sign business in Cassopolis MI.
Here's the question that drew me to this list.
I have a laser printer with dye sublimation toner to do tshirts,
trophies, etc. The color calibration supplied is of course, for
Windows.
OS X can read the profile, but the results aren't quite right.
I finally got a benchmark output by using Parallels to run Windows
and
print a sample. Purple came out as dark blue, not TOO far off.
Could be the pressing time was a bit short.
Before that, when I used Mac software with that color calibration,
the
colors are a quite a bit off. Purple comes out as lilac, for
example.
If someone can coach me on how to create my own color calibration
file
or even just modify the existing , I'd be forever grateful.
