Happy May, Printers!
A beginner print-maker using Canon Pro 10S (on MacOS) and third-party inks. Stumped at how to know all colour management has been turned off on printer for the purpose of printing test targets from which custom ICC profiles will be made.
I've got Adobe Color Printer Utility which, to my understanding, has been made specifically for this purpose. However, there is no clarity in the printer dialogue box (opened from ACPU) as to whether colour management is off. Neither the instructions from Adobe nor the inumerable online forums I've been reading through have helped. -It seems that if I was running Windows there would be a specific option which literally is 'no colour management', possibly also if it was an Epson printer on Mac there would be this option, but on Mac /Canon the driver only has two options: ColorSync and Canon Color Matching.
If anyone using the Pro-10S on Mac has printed targets please would you let me know what the process is? -It may be that ACPU is fine (with ColorSync checked) but at the moment I simply don't know if it is.
Alternatively, I've come across the suggestion of using ColorSync Utility to print the targets, as it does provide an additional dialogue box to 'Print As Color Target'... it was a suggestion with no confirmation from anyone else, so again, I don't know for sure if this is correct.
Regards
