How to turn off colour management?

[Pubcrawler]

To use Advanced B&W printing on my Epson I need to turn off colour management in the app, in this case Publisher. Otherwise the printer and the program are in conflict and the results are terrible. So, please, how do I turn off colour management in Publisher?

[walt.farrell]

Print, and in the Print dialog, Color Management section, Color Handling, choose "Performed by Printer".

Thanks for your reply, Walt.

Your Print dialog box is quite different from mine. I'm using an Epson R2280 on MacOS Mojave, which perhaps makes the difference.

I have Color Matching, which offers ColorSync or Epson Color Controls. For Advanced B&W I know, from printing within Photoshop, to use the Epson option. And then under Printer Features I can select Advanced B&W Photo. But nowhere, when I use Publisher, can I find a Color Management tab and Color Handling: Performed by Printer. In my aged version of Photoshop the first option I see is a choice of the program or the printer handling color management.

It's a puzzle!

BTW I notice when I bring in some dialog pix for uploading to the forum they seem cropped. Perhaps they will appear in their full glory when uploaded!

Sorry; can't help with that level of detail on a Mac.

But someone else probably will be ale to.

Thanks anyway, Walt.

You're welcome.

Walt, I have that problem too - I cannot get a screen that looks like that but do get this:

Does checking the "Black and White Photo Print" option have the same effect as those in your example? 

If (as is perfectly reasonable) your answer is tha same as it was to Pubcrawler, is there any way we can get the issue addressed by someone in AP?

Sorry, but as I said I cannot help with Mac, which I think you're using.

No worries Walt - I had already counted you out 😀, but did wonder if you could point me to someone in the Affinity teams for advice on what the "Black and White Photo Print" actually does.    For various reasons I'm not going to be able to do the obvious thing (try it and see what happens) for about another week.

Sorry, no. Someone from the team should pick up this topic when it reaches the top of their queue.
