Trying to print targets to profile in CS4...

Oct 7, 2009 7:08 PM

I wanted to revisit an issue I had been having several months ago in the hopes that a fix may exist, or that more people may now be aware of it...

 

I'm trying to print Bill Atkinson's RGB targets running CS4 in 10.5.8.  I'm familiar with the necessary settings in order to print a color target, but no matter what I try I cannot make it print.  The file will send to the printer, the paper will advance (even if I tell it to start at the leading edge), then it will go through the motions of printing, though no ink is laid down.  No errors or anything, there's just nothing there.  I am able to print the targets just fine from Windows or any Mac running CS3.  There is another problem, and I'm sure this is related- once I finally manage to get my profile created and try to print an image in 16-bit... no dice.  It's like a practical joke, its as though the printer is saying "ok, if this is your density for a 8-bit print, I'll just double it, then we'll have 16-bit!"  It prints, and the print quality is good, it's just more than twice as dark as it should be, as I see it on the screen, and as it prints in 8-bit.  Strange stuff...

Any idears?
