Just download the utility, create your test charts in ArgyllCMS the usual
way with whatever flags you use. Launch the ACPU utility and open up the
target TIFF files you created and print. The only thing you have to do is
make sure that you select the correct paper setting for your printer (type
and the size you specified in printtarg). The ACPU is not color managed.
Directions on the Adobe site that Ivan posted are pretty clear.

So what's the workflow like, using Adobe Color Utility?
I'll bet there's more information on Adobe's web site?
Thank's / Roger

The only way to "guarantee" that you are printing with no color management
is to use the Adobe Color Print Utility as Ivan already noted. I'm on
Windows but I've read on numerous forums the problems that Mac users
encounter when trying to print targets. The only versions of Photoshop that
allow you to do this are CS4 and earlier; you cannot use Photoshop CC to do
this.

Hello all,
I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 and I think I am having difficulty producing a
completely un-color managed printed test chart. I am using Photoshop CC and
have also tried to print from Mavericks' Preview app, but after scanning
both charts, I get significant out of gamut indications in PS. Also,
resulted prints appear very dull and not accurate to my calibrated (via
DisplayCal) monitor's rendition of the photo.
In the Preview app under Color Matching, I am choosing EPSON Color Controls;
then under Print Settings, I am choosing the paper I'd like to use; and
finally under Color Options, I am choosing Off (No Color Management). I
print out the chart and let it dry, then scan it in with a ColorMunki.
In Photoshop, I really don't know what to do. Should PS manage color? And if
so, what settings should be set? Or, should the printer manage color, and if
so, what settings should be set to create a non-color managed test chart
print?
I am pretty sure the print is the issue, but I am also going to calibrate my
monitor again as well.
Thanks in advance for the help!
