Roger,

I've never tried anything other than raster files with ACPU, sorry.

Yves,

Please correct me if I’m wrong but the ACPU is not a “RIP” or full printer front-end: my point is, does it accept only raster images? Or can it also take PDFs? Or install as a full “print driver”, selectable, just like any printer?

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 😉

    / Roger
