I feel like we've been around the barn and back chasing a chicken, only to realize we had some in the fridge. Anyway, hopefully we've all ended up at the same dinner table in the end...

Indeed we did with respect to current Apple color management protocol. "Documented", "undocumented", "private", or whatever, as a Mac enduser of numerous application managed apps on the Mac, all I know is that "typical" no color adjust and even application managed color pipelines on the Mac nowadays invoke a "greyed out" colormatch menu in the printer driver. It's not just adobe or Xrite that follow this protocol. It's Apple itself, and one can clearly see this method displayed in numerous Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, even Apple Colorsync utility. So, it's great that, despite some heated discussion here in this thread, the Qimage software team has now implemented the "greyed out" approach which today's Mac using printmakers have come to know (and love?) on the Mac.
So, Mike, while we have your attention in this thread, may I beseech you personally to prioritize another new feature for Q1. For those of us who routinely print on rolls, how about an auto page length feature like the big expensive RIPS have. That would be a rather unique feature, IMHO, at Q1's price point. By that I mean, when choosing "roll" rather than cut sheet as the media, it would be great to be able to dump a number of files onto the page area and have Q1 calculate how much roll length is needed, then tell the printer to set that page length so as to efficiently print the chosen image or set of images. Right now, I find I have to guess or pre-calculate that length and manually enter it into the custom size field. The roll width is known. That's easy. But the length of paper optimally defined to be just enough to accommodate the images selected for print must now be manually entered by the enduser. Choose too much length and you waste paper. Choose too little and image "shrink to fit page" starts occurring.
