Try converting the image to the printer profile--after you do your
edits of course--then send it to the printer with CM off.

I am a working commercial photographer using a calibrated workflow
(spectrophotometer monitor calibrations, custom output profiles).
With a recent Mac OS 10.5.8 (main workstation) and 10.6.21 (laptop)
security update installation, my profiles will no longer hook up to
my files as I print. At least it looks that way. I am having this
problem an Epson 7600 (photoblack pigment ink) and with an old 1270.
(I also use a more current Epson 7800 (matte black pigment ink)
which I haven't tested yet). I get very dark contrasty, perhaps a
"preserve color numbers" looking print output regardless of the
profile applied. If I move the file to a OS 10.4 machine it all
works fine, just as it always has. Epson is not likely to upgrade
these drivers but this seems like an OS change that may have
obsoleted the drivers somehow. I have researched online and
duplicated the profiles to another folder, to no avail. Soft
proofing assigning these same profiles shows the same flawed result.
In querying Apple support, others have apparently had this problem
but I have not discovered a reason much less a solution. I know they
are old printers but they work beautifully for me and I would rather
not take them to the landfill for more than practical reasons. Any
Ideas?
