Re: Prints are over saturated - excessive print contrast - since upgrades?
by Russ Widstrand 02 Jun '14

Work done since last email... Reinstalled LR 5.2 Reinstalled (copied) Moab icc profile from the internet Restarted Epson "Enema", as you described, downloaded new software from Epson site. Problem remains. No change, still contrasty print from LR5.2-Mavericks combo. NEWS UPDATE However, on a hunch and a simple move, I booted to new user "Test", with icc profile moved over and selected... ie print settings the same. PROBLEM SOLVED!! ALL THREE PRINTS NOW MATCH. LR5.2-MountainLion LR5.2-Mavericks PSD-Mavericks All match each other. Not sure what to do now, ie how to migrate user without moving the "trouble" back? Hmmmm. Any thoughts?

setting a default monitor profile on OS 10.8
by Peter Constable 01 Jun '14

Hi Colorsyncers- I have a problem that I'm hoping one of you has seen before and solved. I manage a very large set of Design workstations (over 250). These are all Mac. We have some high-end displays on these workstations that we re-calibrate every few months. In the past, our technical staff have made arrangements with end-users to come up and do the calibration while the end-user was logged in. We would like to change our process so technical staff can do these calibrations in the evening without the end-user logged in. However, getting the profile set correctly when the end-user logs in in the morning seems problematic. Staff doing the calibration have full admin access to the Macs but cannot log into the end-user account to set the profile. It looks like I can create a command line tool in XCode to set the default user profile but I'd prefer a more straightforward method, if one exists. I can move the newly-created monitor profile to the non-user, System location, but Colorsync Utility doesn't allow me to set the default profile to a profile other than one set to a factory default. These are all Macs running Mountain Lion. Thanks for any guidance you are able to provide! Regards, _peter Peter Constable Sr. Manager, Color & Imaging Technologies Coach, Inc.
