Issue

The option for No Color Management is no longer listed in the Color Handling pop-up menu in the Photoshop CS5 Print dialog box.

Solution

Use the Adobe® Color Printer Utility application to print your targets without color management applied. Note: These instructions are in the ReadMe.txt file provided with each download.

IMPORTANT: This application only works in Mac OS 10.6. It does not work on Mac OS 10.5.

Download the appropriate attached file

 Mac OS: ACPU.dmg  Windows: ACPU.zip

Install

After you download the appropriate file, double click the zip or .dmg file.

 Mac OS: Drag the Adobe Color Printer Utility.app file to the Applications folder or your preferred folder.  Windows: Choose to extract all the files. After extraction is complete, drag the Adobe Color Printer Utility to your preferred folder.

Run the Utility

1. Double-click the Adobe Color Printer Utility to open the application. 2. Select a TIFF image to open. This utility only works on TIFF files. 3. Choose File > Page Setup. Select your paper size and orientation.

Note: For most target files, print the image at its original size so it's properly scanned by the profiling device.

4. Choose File > Print. 5. Turn off Color Management:

Mac OS

a. Expand the Print dialog box by clicking the arrow next to the Printer pop-up menu. b. Use the pop-up menu in the middle of the dialog box to locate the options for paper type and color management. The menu choices and locations for these options change depending on your printer driver. c. Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling. d. Set Color Management to Off. Some printer drivers turn off Color Management automatically.

Windows

a. In the Print dialog box, select your target printer and click Properties. b. Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling. c. Set Color Management to Off.

Note: In some printer drivers, select Advanced or Custom to locate these options.
