i1Profiler Software on a Mac running 10.11.6.
Epson P7000
In printing Test Charts for creating a printer profile using the i1Profiler software, when I go to set the Epson Color Controls in Color Matching, it is grayed out. This usually means that the application is managing the color. How do I tell i1Profiler not to manage the colors?
I am able to do a Save As and print the targets from another application just fine but I should be able to do it from i1Profiler. Anyone have an idea what silly thing I am missing?

The function for printing profiling targets in i1Profiler is configured to print the targets in the manner required for creating high quality profiles. I tested this yesterday in the context of some research I'm doing and it works fine.
Just use it the way it allows you to use it, measure the printed targets after some drydown, create the profile, run a test print and see whether you're happy.

That's normal and OK. it's not a hack but it is a private, undocumented Apple API (SPI) called kPMApplicationColorMatching. So presumably X-Rite is using this SPI now, in latest versions of i1P, in order to get this behavior.

Thank you, Mark and Andrew.
I guess their documentation needs updating because they explicitly call out not to use ColorSync. The driver is set to No Color Management in the Printer Settings.

X-Rite and "Documentation" is an oxymoron.

I was on the phone with XRite's tech support re. an issue with the i1Isis. I mentioned I was saving the targets and priting them via another app - Mirage. The tech said I could just print from i1Profiler and it will print the targets in the right manner. XRite probably updated i1Profiler at some point to print targets the correct way, i.e. colormanagement by application turned off.
