not sure if it’s apropos, but—quartz is internally color managed. this means that if your image comes in untagged quartz will tag it for rendering to display (when i have bothered to look this was always srgb).
so, i gather, whatever app you print from must be able to maintain a ‘don’t manage’ workflow & send the image down untagged.
hope this may contain a clue,

And it also needs to be off for final printing, as well, since I’m using Argyll again to do all the transformations. Yes, most people need their hands held. No, I’m not most people, and I need my hands to not be tied.)
