Guys,
Just something I thought about: in PS CS5 you can't print without profile
anymore. Adobe supplies some kind of application to directly print TIFF
files for printer calibration. Could it be that when using this app windows
is applying the printer profile from the windows CMM?
Would a profile chart printed using a printer profile applied to it later
result in such weird behaviour?
