Color Print Utility

Hi,
I have downloaded and installed the utility on my Imac (I'm fairly new to Mac's), when I try to print Permajet targets on my Epson Pro 4000 I get the following:
On startup I get a warning that the software was downloaded from the net, it happens every time so I have switched the warning off (not sure if it should do this).
After selecting FILE - PRINT and choosing the printer I get "SETTING COLOR MATCHING MODE -30873" error message.
If I click OK it carries on to the printer setup. The printer setting, color management, paper and rolls settings are struck thru and cannot be altered (expected). When you select PRINT, the above error messages appears again. You can continue thru the error message and print the targets. They look ok but are resized to approx 3/4 of the A4 size they should be. Permajet request the targets are printed at full size for profiling.
When I close the utility I then have to eject it (like a disc) from the right hand side of the screen.
I removed and reinstalled the program but it made no difference. I am running Snow Leopard and CS4, both of which are fully up to date.
My questions are:
1) How do I get rid of the error message?
2) How do I get the targets to print at the correct size?
3) Does the eject issue suggest that the installation is incorrect?
Thanks,
Steve.

Adobe Color Printer Utility and PS CS6

When attempting to print without Color Management in PS CS6 (in the Color Handling section of the Photoshop CS6 Print dialog box) I get a pop-up error message that says I must use the Adobe Color Printer Utility. It refers me to this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Yet the page says nothing about CS6, only CS5.
What gives? Is the Utility for CS6?
I want to use ICC profiles when printing but the Utility doesn't have any options for such.

No, it isn't required.
But if you are trying to print calibration targets (aka "no color management"), then you'll need it.
Why is that not in Photoshop? Because the OS vendors keep changing the print APIs and making "no color management" more difficult to implement.

Adobe color print utility with Mac 10.9.2 Mavericks operating system

Is the "adobe color print utility" compatible with Mac 10.9.2 Mavericks operating system?
I am attempting to print without color management, using custom ICC profiles, and am informed that I need this utility to do so. Correct?

Hi Jeff,
I am printing from CS6 photoshop. It pops up a message in the printer dialoge box that Photoshop cannot print with NO COLOR MANAGEMENT and to download this utility. I also downloaded it and I cannot open it, even tho I instructed the security to allow it. .. Perplexed aand confused, I am. thank you!!

Adobe Color Printer Utility and PSCC2014 - why is it required??

Adobe Color Printer Utility was required in CS5 when one needed to print with No Color Management.
Was this not fixed in PSCC/PSCC2014? When I have Color Handling set to Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Color Management section just about the Color Handling Prompt, a yellow exclamation mark appears and the hypertext, "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management."
Clicking this link sends me to this webpage:
No Color Management option missing | Printing | Photoshop CS5<------

Adobe Color Print Utility Issues

I am on a Mac 10.8.5 and when I open the Print>File dialog box of the Adobe Color Print Utility there is no option to set the colour management to off. I need this as I'm using Photoshop CC which doesn't have that option anymore. There are other options such *** paper handling or paper feed but not the colour management option or options to set the paper type. Has anyone got any ideas on this. I am also considering downloading CS2 as a work-around, does this work with Mac 10.8.5?

Have you checked out this link? https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Your suggestion about using CS2 won't work since this was written in Power PC code.
The last version of Mac OSX that has Rosetta which allows running Power PC apps on an Intel Mac was Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8, so OSX 10.8.5 wont work for CS2
An excerpt:
Turn off Color Management:
Mac OS
Expand the Print dialog box by clicking the arrow next to the Printer pop-up menu.
Use the pop-up menu in the middle of the dialog box to locate the options for paper type and color management. The menu choices and locations for these options change depending on your printer driver.
Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling.
Set Color Management to Off. Some printer drivers turn off Color Management automatically.
Windows
In the Print dialog box, select your target printer and click Properties.
Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling.
Set Color Management to Off.
Note: In some printer drivers, select Advanced or Custom to locate these options.

Why does my Adobe Color Printer Utility application only allow me to print on A4?

I am finding the printer utility application for printing colour targets only allows me to print on A4. if i change the paper size to a custome size it reverts back to A4 when i Go to print. Is this just the way it works ?
If i want to send raw data files to the printer that are larger then A4 how can i do this .

What printer do you have, make & model?
Have you updated the driver, from the mfgr's. Web site?
Good luck,

Print Setup says use Adobe Color Printer with No Color Management even though I have my .icc printer profile selected

I have a ColorMunki Photo and a Canon Pixma Pro 100 that I have been using on my Mac with Photoshop CC. No issues. I must have changed something because now when I go to print, a popup says "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management". It is telling me that my I am trying to print without color management and this method of printing isn't supported. So, I reprofiled my monitor and printer and have brand new .icc profiles and it is still doing the same thing. Can someone tell me the exact things that need to be changed in Photoshop in order to use my .icc profile for color managed printing? I have no idea what I have changed. If I change to a different profile that message doesn't pop up. My document profile says that it is the same as the printer profile I am trying to print from. Does the document profile need to be set to my monitor .icc profile or the printer .icc profile that I want to print from? Any help would be appreciated! It is driving me crazy!

Please read these very recent thread, as it applies to you in full:
Re: color settings after calibrating monitor with Spyder 4Pro

On my 10.6.8, my preview application disappeared and all my documents are coming up as color sync utility. So I can't print anything. HELP!

Where did my preview application go? I have been trying to print documents but everything is coming up under color sync utility, which I don't even know what it is, and there is no "Print" option. All the previous questions about this problem say to go to Preview, but it has gone away. I've looked in Finder and Apps and had both my 20 something children look for it, and none of us know what to do next.
I have a 10.6.8 Mac using Google Chrome as my server, if that matters.

Download Find File for Mac If that piece of software can't find it, you can custom install Preview directly from the disc that came with your Mac when you purchased. It's inside disc #1. Follow the online instructions.

Can't print .indd booklet to PDF; opens print utility instead of Acrobat

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend.
I have a 16 page .indd document that I'm trying to export via "print booklet", using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer. Every time I try to print as a PDF, it goes through the process of compiling the images, loading fonts, etc., but then my printer utility opens (obviously giving an error) instead of Acrobat. When I just choose export as PDF I have no issues whatsoever; Acrobat opens and it saves properly. I need the document, though, in a saddle stitch imposed format for the printer.

I can't seem to print in color with my color printer. Is there a setting on the Macbook that needs changed?

How to print in color on Macbook?

Generally this problem can be corrected using the printing utility from the maker of your printer.
However there may be other problems involved. Please post more information on: what you're trying to print, printer brand and model, application you're trying to print from, which MacBook (year, size and OS).

After Mavericks update, no color printing?

Running an old (no longer supported) Airport Express with an HP DeskJet 6122. Everythign has been going fine for years. Suddenly, after updating to Mavericks, the printer is printing in black & white. I'm using an older version of Pages, so I thoght to just print a picure from preview -- same deal: black & white.
After digging, it appears the color options don't appear in the settings for this printer. Not sure if other printers are affected.
Printer self-test prints in color.
Thinking it might be an issue with my ancient Airport Express, I deleted the printer, plugged it into USB and printed again. Same deal: black and white. Any thoughts?
(more: just rebooted, ran disk utility from the recovery partition, repaired the drive, repaired permissions. Still printing black & white)

I attempted this route, but apple has blocked the installer for the gutenprint because it is not an approved "app store" program. Any new solutions to get my color printing back?
I've been using an HP C4780 All-in-one printer for the last 3 years without any problems until I made the mistake of loading Maverick.
It also screwed up my ability to use the scanner. The only thing I can save from a scan is JPG2000 which doesn't always work for the things I do like online deposits and PDF submissions for insurance claims. I can't save anything as a PDF now without get a gray page that is unreadable.
Anyway to go back to my snow leopard?

Problem with Color Print in Illustrator. Photoshop fine. Epson R2400

OK.. I’ve spent all morning trying to troubleshoot bad color on Illustrator CS4 to Epson R2400 and can’t find a solution. Mac 10.5.8
I’m getting off color (but a neutral grayscale) when printing to from AI 14.0 to Epson Stylus Photo R2400. This just started today. The graphic prints fine in Photoshop.
The main color in logo is R-125, G-69, B-73 in sRGB editing space. It prints very magenta from AI to Epson 2400. Prints fine to my HP laser and fine to PDF.
I’m not new to Color Management and I’ve double-checked all the usual suspects.
Recalibrated Monitor
Re-installed Epson print driver (v6.57)
checked ink nozzles
Checked color settings (synched in Bridge to NA Gen Purpose 2)
checked proper document and printer/paper profile are selected (sRGB to Matte HW)
checked Relative Colorimetric
in Printer dialog checked proper Media Type selected (Epson Matte HW)
and that Color Settings were set to No Color Management.
trashed AI Preferences.
I’m using Epson Inks and Papers.
Same image prints fine from Photoshop using same color settings.
any other ideas?
Thanks much.
Charles

Yea! Working today. One of these things did it, I think. (unfortunately, I did not test after each one)
Recalibrated monitor, again
Trashed Epson Printer Utility from its Utilities folder
Reinstalled Epson driver, again
Deleted all my Presets in the OS Print Set Up dialog box.
So, one of those things helped, or benevolent weekend gremlins.

Getting accurate color prints from mini and Dell 2405?

Although I'm reading many great reviews about this setup and display, I've also found quite a few folks on various forums that are having a very hard time getting their prints to come out looking like anything close to the highly rated on-screen image.
I would like to know if anyone has has figured out how to do this as I often have clients OK the image before I print it. Several people have said that their clients bave been disappointed with the print after seeing the image on-screen with this display more than others.

I use the Dell 2405 on my PC to print photos, and the colors match closely. I just used Adobe Gamma in the Control Panel that comes with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to tweak the output settings, and I left the LCD at its default sRGB setting, which I think Dell has already calibrated, which you can tell if you start up the LCD in diagnostic mode and look at the diagnostic menu.
OSX has a better color calibration utility, so I think with DVI and the 2405, there shouldn't be much of an issue. If anything, the Dell is calibrated to gamma 2.2 which is Windows' default, but with the color calibration utility in OSX you can change the gamma to 2.2 or leave it as OSX's default 1.8. Also, from my limited dabbling in printing color photos from my digicams, there are other factors involved too, such as your printer, paper, camera settings, and software (like Photoshop) settings.

Purple hair! - colors printing wrong w/ iPhoto '08 and Canon MP780

I am trying to print some photos of my strawberry-haired daughter and her hair keeps coming out electric purple. It looks very Warhol, but I wasn't reallly going for that effect... Other dark bits in the pictures are coming out purple too.
This has only happened since upgrading to '08. I am still using 10.4.11. I looked for an updated driver on the Canon website, but the latest update is just for Leopard. I've tried printing through the file menu as well as the print button in iPhoto. I get a range of larger or smaller purple highlights, but can't seem to get it to come out without purple hair.
Any ideas? I don't know enough about tweaking settings randomly to get beyond where I've gotten (about a dozen tries with paper options, color sync vs. BJ Standard in Color Options, printing from a PDF).
Thank you.

Danika:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried cleaning the printer's nozzels with it's printer utility? That happened to me when one of the colors got plugged and the prints were not unlike you are experiencing.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
