Where are printer profiles saved ?

NStocks · Jul 30, 2009, 04:54 AM

I have recently used a X-Rite Colormunki Photo to take swatches of my printer's output, so that they can match the display. I need to get the custom profiles off the computer but I don't know where they are saved.

I think that the display profiles are in colorsync ( Library ) however the printer profiles are not. The only place where I can ' see ' them is when I'm in CS4 and I select which profiles to use...

Cheers.

i think ColorSync should list every profile it finds (screen, printer, etc.)
tt also displays the path of the profile.

I though so too, but it doesn't show most of the profiles installed

I'll look in adobe folders etc.

This will help you. Follow prompts, then restart. The Library folder will appear in the user's folder, and in it you will find the colormunki profiles for your printer.
