The option for No Color Management is no longer listed in the Color Handling pop-up menu in the Photoshop CS5 Print dialog box. Use the Adobe Color Printer Utility application to print your targets without color management applied.

Note: These instructions are in the ReadMe.txt file provided with each download.

Download the appropriate attached file

After you download the appropriate file, double-click the zip or .dmg file. 

  • Mac OS: Drag the Adobe Color Printer Utility.app file to the Applications folder or your preferred folder.

Run the Utility

  1. Double-click the Adobe Color Printer Utility to open the application.
  2. Select a TIFF image to open. This utility only works on TIFF files. 
  3. Choose File > Page Setup. Select your paper size and orientation. 

Note: For most target files, print the image at its original size so it's properly scanned by the profiling device.

  1. Choose File > Print. 
  2. Turn off Color Management: 

Mac OS

  1. Expand the Print dialog box by clicking the arrow next to the Printer pop-up menu. 
  2. 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.
  3.  Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling. 
  4. Set Color Management to Off. Some printer drivers turn off Color Management automatically.

Windows
