Title: Settings when printing targets
Post by: skyer on March 04, 2025, 04:49:06 PM
What settings should I use when I print targets? It's clear that Printing profile must be OFF but what about the Rendering Intent and Black Point Compensation?

Just open the printer targets setup job:

Click the "Recall" button top left of the main window.

Open "{Q} printer target setup.job"

Regards,
Mike

Thank you!
So it'll print with Perceptual color intent and Black Point Compensation On, right?

No.  The printer profile will be turned "OFF" so neither of those apply.  Rendering intent and BPC only apply when using a profile.

I see. Then maybe in the future updates these options could be made unselectable in the Printer Profile OFF mode or it may puzzle someone like me too :)
Thanks again!

It is under the section labelled "Printer Profile Rendering Intent".  So if there's no printer profile, it doesn't apply.  It is left enabled because you might want to change the settings even with no printer profile selected so that when you DO select a printer profile at a later time, it uses your preferred settings since those details aren't displayed on the main window.
