Hello all.
Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. I've not been here
for quite a while.
I'm trying to help someone working in a school environment where the
macOS (Big Sur) on their aging computers, together with their Epson and
Canon printers is facing problems when trying to print using the
traditional way of letting LrC or PS manage the color, choosing the
printer/paper profile in the print dialogue, and then turning OFF
printer CM. For whatever reason this is not playing nice.
I'm suggesting as a temporary workaround that they convert the image to
the printer/paper profile in PS (using a copy of the original image) and
then send it to the printer using "Printer manages color" while still
turning OFF the printer color management.
Is there any reason this workaround will not work? I just did a test
today on two 5x7" color targets printed on the same 8.5x11" paper
(top/bottom - sent through the printer twice) and they're close to being
identical. I suspect that any difference is due to the combination of
options I used (Perceptual, Relative Colorimetric, Absolute Colorimetric
/ Black Point Compensation, Dither).
If I use the same options in the convert to profile as I would in PS's
printer dialogue will/should the output result look the same?
Thanks for any help :-)
Russell
