Hi Doug,

As far as I know there is no problem when printing in a profiled workflow. If the file has a profile and you choose an output profile and a rendering intent, you used to do, you are ok.

This workaround is only for the occasion you need to send an unprofiled file to the printer. This concerns all people who have to print targets for profile measurements and digital negative makers. Before we could choose 'No Color management' but this is not working anymore  in CS4/SL. The workaround makes you assign a profile and choose the same profile for output. This results in an unchanged throughput of the data. You have to uncheck blackpoint compensation for the same reason. I dont know the exact difference between the rendering intents but I presume the Luminous Landscape workaround uses the one that leaves the numbers unchanged.

One question for you please; while I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard yet (still using OS 10.5.8) due to printing problems lots of folks seem to be having with SL, I'm currently printing using Perceptual Rendering Intent with Black Point Compensation checked. So if I use Relative Colorimetric and uncheck Black Point Compensation under Snow Leopard, will I introduce a slight change in how the final print looks compared to my current printing approach under Leopard?
