PGCSUB Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 Hi all, I am trying to help someone set up their sublimation printer using Affinity Designer v2 on a MAC, and there are no longer any options in the print dialogue relating to color handling which are vital to the set up. On the Windows version, there is a very easy to locate 'color handling' section where you can choose to allow the printer to handle colors or you can allow the app to handle colors. Directly under that section is a dropdown where you can select the ICC profile you want it to use. For a lot of sublimation printer set ups it is vital to be able to allow the app to handle colors and manually set the ICC profile to be used. I am positive that these options were also available on MAC previously but they seem to now be missing, in fact there now seems to be no print settings from affinity itself available at all, it just has the printers own dialogue settings show within affinity. Does anyone have any insight on this at all, can affinity really not do color management on MACs anymore or is the setting just hiding somewhere obscure ? Any help or advice at all would be appricted thanks
JamieT Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 Yes in the older-style print dialogs like this I can't help other than to point out that it is possible to open a PDF inside ColorSync Utlity and print from there with profiles applied.
markw Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 In the v2 Affinity apps on Catalina I can still choose Colour Profiles. The Colour Matching settings always default to the printer so you have to actively choose ColourSync in order to choose your preferred colour profile. If you can provide a screenshot of the Print window in question and the options offered that might help. macOS 12.7.6 | 15" Macbook Pro, 2017 | 4 Core i7 3.1GHz CPU | Radeon Pro 555 2GB GPU + Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 1.536GB | 16GB RAM | Wacom Intuos4 M
