Printing Targets, Print Settings
Hi, I’m running macOS Mojave and want to print targets to an Epson P800. What is the current recommendation for printing profile targets? Is Adobe Print Utility the only way? I once printed from i1Profiler, but with Mojave 10.14.6 the print settings dialog is an unusable mess. All of the “Print Features” are available in the same submenu, Basic, Advanced, AWB, all lumped together. Many Apple apps also have this barfed up jumble of selections which make them unusable for any printing. Photoshop still has the old interface and naming “Print Settings,” and the separate tabs come up for Basic, Advanced, and AWB has its own selection interface, and one can print. But of course with ColorSync broken and always insisting on some profile you don’t want, printing targets won’t work in Photoshop. Does anyone know what is going on with the printer dialog windows? Seems Apple keeps breaking usable workflow? Thanks, David
You cannot print targets for color management through Photoshop since CS6 or so. Don’t event try. Adobe Color Print Utility still works just fine even under Catalina. The ColorSync Utility should work too but really, if you have i1Profiler just use that. It’s designed to print targets without color management and does so without issue on this end, make sure you’ve got the latest version for your OS. Qimage One has a ‘no color management‘ print mode. So does Roy Harringtons ‘Print Tool‘ but neither are free like ACPU. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/ <http://www.digitaldog.net/>

Can I add to that? The Adobe Color Print Utility works great for printing *RGB profiling targets*. Photoshop (current) works better for *CMYK profiling targets* (assign and print with US Web SWOP v2) with postscript drivers. If ACPU were still under development I’d encourage them to a) add support for CMYK and b) lock down scaling. Scott Martin www.on-sight.com Precise color science for printmaking professionals
