Title: Page setup for X-rite calibration
Post by: evonzz on May 16, 2009, 07:19:24 am

i am trying to profile my printer using X-rite i1.  I'd like to do a profile for Hahnemuhle Bamboo which is a rear feed.  when printing the test chart from the X-rite software, there is no option to get the VFA paper - its all greyed out.   How can i change the default page setup outside of PS?

thanks, frustrated.

OK, i worked it out.  it is rather convoluted in the OSX print dialog.  in order to change the page set up, one must go to Paper Handling > then check 'scale to fit paper size' > then change destination paper size (and feed).

When saving print settings in PS, one should bear in mind the paper size and feed in Paper Handling to be selected accordingly otherwise the page setup will be generic and unspecified.  Of course, this is a little immaterial as usually the page setup is done prior to photshop printing and this issue is only a problem if printing outside of PS.
