Called X-rite and this is what they said:

The ColorMunki software does not allow the user to choose what type of profile is created, that is, RGB or CMYK. The software, during the profiling phase looks to the printer driver to determine what type of profile to create. Consequently, if the user needs this ability they should upgrade to the i1pro photo. As this system costs $2200, I am not going to do this.

My next call is to Xerox to see if there is a way to change the native color space of the laser printer from cmyk to rgb?

Cheers Richard

Hello Terry-M

I printed to the Xerox 7500 using the commercial provide you provided. I also tried it with the Epson profiles I have for the 4900 and they all printed fine in QImage.

I agree the ColorMunki, maybe be monkeying around with the profile and creating a CMYK profile instead of a RGB.

I will call x-rite on Monday and see if there is a work around...Thanks Richard

Hello Terry,

Yes this is the exact same message I receive. I will also try to print using the commercial profile and let you know how it works. Thanks for you help in trying to solve this issue.

PS I will call x-rite next week and see if that is the case regarding the colormunki choose the type of profile.

Thanks again.Richard

Hello Terry,

I did what you suggested. I tried to print to a file. Here is what happened:

Try #1 set color space to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (P) printed to a file perfectly.
Try #2 set color space to colorMunki generated file: system crashed with warning at 29% of the print spooler.
Try #3 set color space to let printer handle the color management, printed to the file perfectly.

Thanks for you continued suggestions...Richard

The program crashes at about 30-50 % of the processing. I have tried this with one picture and four pictures to see if it made difference, but the program always crashes at around 30-50% completion. Then I have to use task manager to close down the program.

To be clear when I use Qimage and print to my Epson 4900 using a ColorMunki created profile, the program prints perfectly.
When I use Qimage and I print to the Xerox 7500 using a profile created by the ColorMunki the program halts, displays the message that it does not recognize the ICC profile and it only uses RGB profile, then it crashes completely and becomes unresponsive.

If I use Qimage and I let the printer handle the color management and print to the Xerox 7500, the printer prints without an issue, using the print color management.

Thank you for your feedback so far...Cheers Richard

I just downloaded Qimage and want to print to my laser printer, which is a Xerox Phaser 7500 Dx. When printing if you select: let printer determine colors, the printer prints using the printers color profile and  the printer color management. If you try to select a custom profile, the printer does not print, crashes and states, printer does not recognize profile and only prints using RGB profiles.

Here is the question: as the color profile is an RGB profile, made from a color munki photo, why does Qimage not recognize it? Qimage will recognize color profiles made from the color munki for the Epson 4900 I have and prints wonderfully, but again crashes if I choose the Xerox profile and try to print to the 7500 using Qimages color management.

Any suggestions would be helpful...Thanks Richard
