Title: Printing with 2 profiles
Post by: sectionq on January 14, 2012, 02:13:53 AM
Hi Guys,

sorry, I know I read this somewhere before on this forum but I can't find it anywhere. Anyway, I was wondering how you can print 2 of the same picture, each with different paper profiles for testing purposes. Of course I can do 2 jobs but I'm sure I read that it was possible to do it at the same time. Unless I'm wrong of course.

Thanks in advance.

Jamie

Not on my system right now but if you load the image twice in the print queue and right click on one image in the preview window there is a choice to override the general printer profile with another one or just change the rendering intent. The other image will still obey to the general printer profile. Any image in the preview can get another profile etc so it is not limited to two.

met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst

Hi Jamie,
Ernst was close! Very Close!  Not bad for an old guy. :-))

As he said, load two copies of the image ready to print.
Then Right click on one of them and select Custom Color Management.
A box opens where you change profiles, or rendering intents etc. It will apply your change only to the one image you selected.
