The print utility (ACPU) is an app on its own, no need for anything else.

Alan,

Thanks for the information. I believe I have used Adobe Print Utility to “talk” to my printer in the past. Maybe you know a solution to print through APU from InDesign or Illustrator, or even Acrobat?

Roger,

Adobe removed the feature allowing profile targets to be printed using Photoshop some versions ago (I think CS4 was the last version that supported profile target printing easily). What you describe below won’t work with any current version.  You must use the ‘null transform’ technique which adds several steps to the process.  It’s far easier to use the Adobe Color Printer Utility to do the job; one less thing to go wrong.

Yves,

So you started “fresh”, in the sense that, you generated a smaller set of patches, this time, which allowed you to save ink and paper, and measuring time, and _you ran that target on your Canon Pro-1000 printer through Photoshop, with color management **disabled** in the driver,_ which you then measured with your ColorMunki? Good man 😊!

Are you going to be able to send a copy of your hard-earned profile? For your “friends” to look at? Considering ALL the help we gave you – wink, wink 😉
