How to turn off color management in the print dialogue

I Use Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2
Lightoom 4
Canon Pixma MG 8250
Profile MG series 8200 GL3/SG3 for Glossy paper.
It is stated that "remember to turn off color managment in the print dialog" when using custom profile (I assume the Profile MG...) is regarded as a custom profile...
I have been lookoing in the print dialogue and I can not find any way to turn off colour managment...
Is this only valid for Microsoft Windows of Is there something I do not understand ?

HP B9180 - Turn off color management in the printer driver.

I see others have questions in this area and mine is only a slight variation.
When selecting the ICC profile there is an option for Printer managed and then below that all my normal profiles are selected of which I select whichever is appropriate.
I select more options and select 'Perceptual' - does anybody have any views on this?
I keep black point on and increase brightness slightly - it's a judgement.
I click print and I get an additional Printer menu - possibly HP unique.
In this one of the options is Color Matching.
Grayed out beneath this are two radio buttons - one for Colorsync (on) and one for Vendor Matching (off). As they are grayed I cannot effect this.
It would appear that color management by the printer driver is turned off and I do appear to have more and better control of my prints than before but if anyone has more information I would be pleased to hear it.
regards, Bob

How to Turn off Color Management in Photoshop 7

Wondering if anyone can guide me through the steps of turning off Color Management in Photoshop 7 so that my Epson 2200 manages the color?
I've already tried turning off color management in photoshop color settings and also in the printing box. My photographs print out perfect in iPhoto
but I am limited in printing size.
Thanks

Agree, turning off color management in the color settings is 100% the wrong thing to do.
Under printer profile, select the DocumentRGB profile.
NO! Select the PRINTER profile (and paper type, etc. as needed).
The instructions you gave will give unmanaged color, and offer no chance for the printer to do it's thing at all. (guaranteed fail)
Having Photoshop manage the color, converting to the printer profile, and telling the printer driver to get the heck out of the way is far more likely to give useful prints.

Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark 2 - HELP! - switching off color management in the print dialog

Hello
I'm using Lightroom 5 to print. I'm selecting a custom profile in the print section and lightroom says in italics below
"when selecting a custom profile, remember to switch off color management in the print dialog."
Can someone explain to me how to do that?
I'm on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
Many thanks
Stuart

It may be a little different with the 9000 as it is several models back by now. But what I explained should be close.

How to turn off color management in Canon MX860 for printer profile

I just got my Spyder3Print updated with the SR software to calibrate my Canon MX860 on a Mac OS X system. I am using 3rd party paper (Kirkland) and 3rd party ink (uni-kit). There are no existing .icc profiles out there for this combo. I have been using canons "GL2/GL3" profile which does not give me, as expected, a good color match.
When the program asks to print the target it says to make sure the "color management is off".
I cannot find an "off" selection. In the "color mode" portion of the dialog box I do get to choose between "colorsync" and "canon color matching"???
I was guessing colorsync and then I have to pick a printer/paper/ink .icc profile. Not sure what to use for this first target print.
Not sure if that choice represents color managment off?

Just got the answer from Spyder:
his applies to ALL Canon printers drivers running under both Leopard and Snow Leopard and it's the correct "solution" to get them to print without color management (a critical, unavoidable requirement for building custom printer profiles with any 3rd party printer profiling solution).
Make sure you're running OSX 10.6.2 or whatever the latest is. There have also been some Canon driver updates that will show up in System Preferences:Software Update, so make sure you've got nothing left to apply as an update. Another way to make sure you have the latest Canon driver installed: go to Print & Fax, select your current Canon driver, and click on Options and Supplies... to see what version it is. (It should be 10.26.0.0 or later, and here's the Apple list of latest drivers for all printers):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
If you don't have the most recent driver, then click "-" to remove the older Canon driver from the list. Then, with the printer attached and powered on, click "+", and add back the driver for it (this should download and install the latest version for you).
Now: when you PRINT and want to turn off color management in Spyder3Print, THIS is the way to do it:
In the Color Matching pane of the driver, select ColorSync (not Vendor Matching, or Canon Color Matching!)
In the popup beneath that, you'll see "Automatic"; a list of all the Canon standard profiles; and a command to choose from other profiles. Use that last command to see a list of all profiles on your system.
Select "Generic RGB" from the list. (this is the key). Then say OK and you'll see that "Generic RGB" shows beneath the ColorSync radio button in the Color Matching pane. This is the secret to disabling color management with the Canon drivers in Snow Leopard (and it also works in Leopard, as well, although in that case, a warning gets displayed underneath "Generic RGB", which can be ignored)
Select the paper type, output quality, resolution, etc. as usual and print the target sheet. (Just leave the Color Options pane alone)
NOW you should get a properly dark (non-color-managed) target print. Measure this and build a profile.
Printing with "No Color Management" from Photoshop actually works the same way. It invisibly pushes through "Generic RGB" or an equivalent when you choose "No Color Management" in its Print dialog, This is why, in the Color Matching pane of the driver, ColorSync subsequently comes up auto-selected and also disabled; Photoshop has done the same thing I just described "under the hood" and as a result, that choice in the driver gets "locked".
When printing through the profile in Photoshop: do it the usual way. (Photoshop Manages Colors, choose the profile, Saturation intent, etc etc etc). It should work fine.
When doing a test print from inside Spyder3Print: since Spyder3Print applies the profile internally to the image data before it's sent to the driver, you should set the driver up exactly the same as when you printed the target image (as I've described above), so this would be ColorSync:Generic RGB in the Color Matching pane.

Turning off color managment in Canon Pro-10 printer driver

Hi,
I am using Lightroom 5 to print to a Canon Pro-10 printer. How do I disable the color management in the printer driver. I have selected the appropriate canon PRO-10 profile in Lightroom and it says to turn off color management in the printer driver dialogue box but I don't see where / what to do

"my monitor has been calibrated"
I hear this all the time. It is the main reason I don't like all the calibration gadgets out there. You need to "calibrate" your monitor to what your printer is printing. Not some spec some gadget thinks it should be.
You need to know what the bias of the printer is. In this case Canon has put a reddish bias in it's printers to simulate a warm look. This condition will not be accounted for in calibration software or monkeys.
Get your brightness, contrast and grey-scale right and the rest will take care of itself. You can do the necessary corrections in LR to make up for, or leave as is, the warm tone from the printer.
BTW, you should be working in AdobeRGB or higher. Factoid, you can not get every color to match. This is not possibile. You are dealing with two completely different mediums. Light and dyes. Adjusting any color effects other colors as well.

Turn off color management in printer driver?

Hello folks:
When I select an icc color profile in Aperture 3 in the Print dialog box, a warning pops up that says "Turn off Color Management in the Printer Driver." I have an Epson R2880, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to turn it off in the driver. Any thoughts? The Epson Printer Utility is also of no help.
Thank you!
--David

Understanding that I have not actually used ColorJunki:
-- A printer is always going to have something manage color. Either an ICC profile at the application level, or the printer driver.
-- The warning is poorly worded. It means "Turn off the PRINTER color management and let Colorsync manage colors." Thus on the greyed out screen you will see that Colorsync is selected.
-- To use a printer profiler you normally print a target sheet. Your software should tell you what settings to use.
-- Next you read the target sheet and the profiler makes you an ICC profile of your printer/paper combination. (The same process that Canon, Epson, Red River, Illford, et al. follow.)
-- You can now use your new, ColorMunki created ICC profile to soft proof your image as you adjust it and, finally,
-- You use that same profile to print. (Remember, the profile is specific to a printer/paper combination and you will still have to set Quality/Media correctly for the paper.)
By selecting the correct ICC profile on the first print screen, you automatically kill printer color management and, with a bit of luck, a good profile, and clement atmospheric conditions, you will actually get a good print.
Trust me on this, I have been getting great prints from Aperture for years. My only gripe is that AP3 no longer lets me at the color options which I used to tweak for my cheap and cheerful Costco paper.

How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900

How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900 printer? I am using the laetest Epson driver, I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I'm using OSX 10.5.8.
Thanks
Joe

I have researched the matter a lot and I,
along with many others, still have problems with this complicated
subject.
Color management is as simple in theory as Honoring a Source Profile and CONVERTING it to a Target Profile (monitor or printer) for Proofing.
But yes, we work at the mercy of the rocket scientists who try to dumb an extremely complicated process down so regular folks (like me) can make it work — trouble is I think their approach needs a bit more distilling and common sense sometimes...but it is very doable once you put in the time to figure it out, just follow the CHAIN in your workflow if you're still having problems.
If you want a "simple button" try staying in sRGB and printing out of Apple Preview app using OEM standard papers matched to your printer and OEM ink set.

How do I turn off color management in Photoshop 5?

There are three selections, only the first two clickable, in PS5 under Color Management in the Print dialouge:
Printer Manages Colors
Photoshop Manages Color
Separations (grayed out/unclickable)
Under Printer Manages Colors - there is no option to turn off color management for my Canon 9500 Mark ii
Under Photoshop Manages Color - there is no option to choose "No Color Management"
You can chose "No Color Management" in PS3, but not PS5? What happened to this option?
How is it possible to create a profile from a print of color swatches if I can not turn off color management?
(I am running Mac OS 10.6.4)
PS> this is the second time I'm contacting Adobe. First was by phone but I couldn't understand the message left on my voice mail after the phone technician had to ask for help from upper management - the english was so bad. I'm hoping by the written word I'll be able to understand. Please help.

Cannot turn off color management on HP Officejet 6500 E709n

The subject says it all. I want to create an ICC profile for my HP Officejet 6500 E709n. In order to do that I need to turn off color management, then print a test pattern. I cannot find any documentation on the Internet that this is possible for this particular printer. HP describes a driver that does support this feature, but does not say whether the feature is available for all HP inkjet printers, just fior Photosmart printers, etc.
I am running OS X 10.7.5 and have driver version 4.0.1 installed. Can anybody verify that, on Lion with this version of the driver, the option to turn off color management is available for some printers (I suspect Photosmart) but not for others (e.g., Officejet)? I have no option to install another driver, as Apple's Software Update determines the drivers required and installs them automatically.
Thanks,
Richard

It may be that you can't turn it off. In my quest for a color laser printer that didn't cost a small fortune, I first tried two somewhat cheaper models. In both cases, I had checked the documentation before purchasing the printers for the same reason as yourself. There were settings on both the printer and in the driver software to disable color management and any type of auto color control.
In neither case did those features actually work. After profiling, color wasn't even close to the monitor, so the printers were still doing some sort of color modification of their own despite being set to none. These were color laser printers in about the $275 range. As you get into anything cheaper (including of course the deluge of dirt cheap inkjet printers), they are essentially impossible to profile. These door stops are targeted at users who just expect the printer to kick out a page with an image on it.
For a color laser printer, I originally went with a Xerox 6280DN, which is a toner model (I was purposely avoiding the models that use solid inks). That one profiled perfectly. The 6600 is probably the closest current available model to that.
However, you're looking at inkjet printers. I know some users try to avoid Epson, but I've always had good luck with them, and the output is outstanding for the higher end models. Their cheapest professional model is the 17" 3880 at about $1200. Add $200 more for the Designer Edition, which is the same printer bundled with the EFI eXpress RIP Software.
One of the nice features of this model is it uses their newer head. We have a Stylus Pro 4900, which replaced a 4000. The difference is night and day in ink loss. The 4000 regularly churned through a good third of the ink spent on that thing just trying to keep the nozzles clear. A very large waste of expensive ink! The 4900 still does clog at times (all inkjets do), but nowhere near as often, and it clears with less waste.
As an example, the 110ml cartridges for the 4000 averaged $60 per color. We'd go through at least a couple thousand dollars of ink a year, much of it lost to keeping the thing unclogged. With the 4900, which we've had for a year and a half now, we still have two of the original 80ml starter cartridges in it. The replacements you buy for it are 200ml and should last a good two years or more. In other words, the cost of ink per year dropped by about 80%.

How to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

how to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

Most apps do not run in the background on an iPad. Their stae is kept in memory so that when you start the app again it will load quickly at the location you last used it. But you can remove these apps from the Recently Used list. Here's how:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Some apps do refresh in the background if you have that Setting turned on. You can control apps there individually or turn off Back Ground App Refresh completely in the Settings App.
Settings > General > Background App Refresh

How to turn off programs running in the background withiOS7?

I would just add that it is not necessary. The programs referred to are only the recently used programs, and are not "running in the background" with the sometimes exception of GPS apps and music apps. They are simply dormant in the memory. The operating system will remove these programs if the space is required.

Trouble creating personal url and disabling color management in the printer preference dialog

I just purchased a new Canon Pro 9000 MKII which came with a new copy of Photoshop Elements 8. I registered the software and created a username and password successfully, but I am unable to created a personal URL for starting an online gallery. I keep getting error messages everytime I try. One message is that name is taken and the other simply says there is an error.
Second problem is when I try to print from Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 there is a message that states: " did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?" It is unclear to me how this can be done.
Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.
DG

Log in to the web page and try some different characters e.g.

In the print dialog you need to click More Options and choose printer manages color if you want to use your printer/paper profile.
