Since upgrading to OSX10.9, we cannot use the ColorSyncScripting addition, so I am looking for alternatives, and wondering what others are doing in this sort of scenario? The computers have multiple users logging in, so a login script runs for each user to set the custom profile for that machine. Alternatively, setting the custom colour profile as the default for all users would be a good approach, if this is do-able? Ideas?

This has long been my preferred approach for 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. My clients and I have skipped 10.7 and 10.8, but I'm hoping/assuming that it also still works in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9. I have quite a few 10.9 migrations planned in 2014. The basic method is to set the preferred profile in admin or other test user account. Then under root copy the whole ByHost folder from the user's Library-->Preferences to the corresponding place in the default User Template. Now guest, all network, and newly created accounts will pick up the correct profile. jt ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 11:26:43 +0400 From: Alexey Gribunin <Gribunin@unit.ru> To: colorsync-users@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: Epson ColorBase Utility Message-ID: <52E60A33.9000007@unit.ru> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Hello!
I have used the utility on a smaller Epson printer. As far as I understand it the function of the utility is: simply to make the printer conform to what Epson believes is the standard colour performance for that model.
Now the situation is different. ColorBase Utility can measure the testchart and put measurements into some folder. After that you can use any ICC profiler to create the custom profile for your media. Moreover, now it's possible to load testchart printed on ANOTHER printer into Spectroproofer+ColorBase. It's not very straightforward but it works.
