Hello,
For printing proofs, it is best practice (and also needed for ISO
12647-7 conformance), that the proofing application prints a a control
slug, which contains information about source profile, target profil,
intent and calibration status.
For doing print colormanagement outside the proofing area, we would need
a possibility, that both
- the OS
- the application
- the printer driver
creating together a controil slug, containing all relevant color
settings informations into one control slug (or additional print out)
For daily print outs, this would create a overhead on information, but
for troubleshooting or integrating custom printer profiles into a print
workflow, this would help a lot to know and to document, what have been
done.
The best organization to define a framework for such a workflow, would
be in my eyes the ICC Graphic Arts user group.
They could e.g. describe some kind of metadata, which the OS and an
application offers about their color settings and which the printer
driver could grap and print out with added informations of its own settings.
I will send a copy of this e-mail to the ICC Graphic Arts user group
(which is non public) and will post in this list, if there are any
responses.
Best regards
Jan-Peter
PS to Tom Lianza ICC chair:
Such solution provided by the ICC would help Xrite i1 and ColorMunki
users a lot to have a positive user experience and to understand what
happens during testchart printing and profile application....

How about a test-chart and test program that allows a user to diagnose
the effect of the print path settings ?
That would allow a lot of problem solving, especially if it prints out
the desired and actual settings on the same page.
Feed in a letter page, print, turn the page around, *measure* and
print the measurement results on that page, and write it all into a
file.
When things are working, just grab that page again as a physical
reference that can be measured for comparison, and also read the
settings off that page.
This would also make certain that users don't forget something in the
settings and then claim the printer driver has gone AWOL.
