Hmm... here's something I just noticed. In ColorSync, when I select "Print
as color target", the colors in the little preview window end up changing
drastically. Is this normal? I saved the preview as a PDF on the bottom of
the Print window to show you guys. Here they are:

Original Argyll generated TIF target:

ColorSync Target saved as PDF:

I'm going to try using Adobe's Color Print Utility to see if the same thing
happens during the print.
