How to print test chart for profiling

Post by mojones »

Hi,

I want to print a test chart to send off for profiling (you get this free with Permajet papers). What are the correct settings to make sure that no colour adjustments are made? I have set up a new profile from the profiles tab; if I choose it in the GIMP printing dialogue will that be the correct setting (i.e. no colour management)?

Hello,

please follow the instructions in the TurboPrint PDF manual

http://www.turboprint.info/manual/Manua ... Print2.pdf

chapter 10.1, page 52 and chapter 10.3, page 60:

Open TurboPrint Control Center, button "Profiles" and create a new entry for the paper you want to profile.

Then open GIMP and choose the media type that you just added in TurboPrint Control Center and print your chart - with this setting the TurboPrint color management will be automatically switched off.

Finally, add the ICC profile in the profile administration (TurboPrint Control Center, button "Profiles").
