As I recall it was one of the Adobe software engineers who came up with the CS5 null transform method and it does work. Adobe developed the print utility to make it "easier" to print out targets. As Graeme said in an early response today, i1 Pro and ColorMunki targets don't seem to be impacted by the slight shrinkage because of the contrasting spacer color. I haven't tried the custom paper approach with zero margins but may try that with some inexpensive paper to see if the sizing is affected. There is a margin dialogue box that pops up for my Epson 3880 under the print setup button but it seems not to work at all when I change the margins there to zero. I did re-load PS CS4 (which I have a license for) so I can print out properly sized targets with no color management from that application. It's still strange to me why Adobe got rid of this option in moving to CS5.

This involves turning off Black Point Compensation and setting rendering intent to Relative Colorimetric in the color management settings. Open the chart and assign a generic profile to it such as Adobe RGB. The profile must be assigned to the chart...the chart must not be converted. The chart is then printed with Photoshop Manages Printing in the Print Dialogue Box and the same profile is assigned (in this case Adobe RGB). Intent is set to Relative Colorimetric with no BPC. Color management is disabled in the print driver. As I understand it, the print engine sees that the intent matches the assigned profile and no changes are made as the chart is passed to the printer driver. Quite a few posters have said that this works seamlessly. It makes sense to me and the charts produced seem to match the ACPU charts with regards to colour perfectly. I'd appreciate anyone's opinion of this method. Phil
