Ah, workflow problems. I strongly believe this is *the* real issue on today's color management.
Double-color management, inconsistent paths, different profiles... a nightmare.
Ok, I cannot spot where the problem is, but
here
are some clues. Thay have been very useful to
me in past.
1) Trust nothing. Check each driver, profile, etc. Even if the filename and UI look is same, maybe the
profile and driver are different.
2) pinpoint the path. This technique is very effective when one tries to find which profile/intent is
being applied.
ICC gives a "probe profile" here: http://www.color.org/probeprofile.html This is a fake profile that adds a huge tint, which is of different color on depending on intent being used.
So, just replace the output profile with this one
and do
some prints. If the workflow is configured
correctly, every
print should come with same tint color. I guess you
will
be surprised by results.
3) Isolate wrong branches. If you have a
colorimeter/spectrophotometer, print some
patches and
measure them. Isolate the parts of the network that
produces
bad results. If the workflow is complex enough,
maybe is not
worth of understanding each step. Remember, you
want good
results. A proper setup would be nice, but you
final goal are
good results.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Marti.

I use a Canon IP4200 printer shared on a Network. When I print some color patches on it from 5 different PCs, with EXACTLY the same settings and same color profile, I see some color difference on the printed results. Any idea of how to solve this ? All the PC run on Win2K with same driver version.
