Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Color management and GIMP+Gutenprint

Hi Robert.   When you printed your target through Gutenprint, did you set the
print dialogue box to:  Printer manages Color; Photoshop manages color, or
no color management?  This is before you go on to Gutenprint driver.

Please describe the work flow, or procedure you used to print the target.   

Then, once you had the target, what setting in the first dialogue box in
Photoshop did you use.  Take me from step one through the final printing of
the target.

And, then take me through the steps to print an image using your new custom
.icc profile.

I am on Mac, 10.4.11, as well as 10.5.3.   Photoshop CS 3.   I create my own
custom .icc profiles for various papers and two Epson printers, the 9600 and
2400, with the Epson drivers.  I am attempting to go to Gutenprint.

Cheers,  David    June 29,08
