No, Martin is not picking the wrong rendering intent. I started noticing this as soon as I moved to Snow Leopard. Two things happened: Everything printed through CS3 started printing about a half stop dark, so I migrated to CS5 printing, which solved the dark printing, but added the scum dot. At first I thought I had mistakenly made a v4 profile, but I have only ever made v2 profiles. It's something that happened in the move to Snow Leopard. Making new profiles in i1Profiler solved the scum dot problem, but created new problems as well. Believe it or not, not every user out there is up to date, and if you use the new i1 profiles in CS3 and SL, you will get prints that are really dark - I'm talking ten stops or more dark.
I wrote a detailed message to X-Rite about all of this and guess what? I never heard a damned thing back from them. Oh well. For the record, every person I know making prints on a Mac with the same setup and Gretag profiles has had the same issue. For a lot of applications, it's not really a big deal, but if you need to show the white as part of your image, you better remember to expand the canvas or print through the Adobe Color Print Utility, which does not have the problem.
