seems to be that the profile wasn't installed. I assumed that to since I could get access to the profile I didn't need to install it. All it took was a right click and install and everything seems to be fine.

Ben, we are happy the the problem is solved, but your explanation is not coming out clear.
INSTALLING only places the profile in the correct folder so you can select more easily.
System32\Spool|drivers|Color

If you had the correct profile selected in Qimage and saw it showing in SETTINGS, It would work.
See screen snap.
No matter what folder the profile was located, if you selected it, and had the driver color off, it works.

Just curious for other new users to understand.....

Hi Ben,

When a profile is made, the software usually "installs" the profile automatically, ie. places it in the System32\Spool|drivers|Color folder .

In your first post your screen shot of your settings showed a profile called "CL 7900 matte 28.03.17.icm".
So was this the correct profile?
If so then colours should have been ok. and some other settings were not right.

Like Fred, Just curious for other new users to understand....

While QU allows you to select a profile from anywhere, most other programs don't. So I see a couple possibilities. If it wasn't "installed", QU could use it but PS can't... so maybe no profile (or a different profile) was being used in PS, causing a discrepancy between QU and PS. The only other thing that can happen here is that some printers (drivers) allow you to associate certain profiles with certain papers in the driver. If you have QU set to "Let printer/driver manage color" and you expect the driver to be using the correct profile internally, it won't if it isn't "installed".

That's all I can think of.
