Well, I've finally got something meaningful to say for the blog... XRite/Pantone has updated the color management software for their monitor and printer profiling devices to be compatible with the new Mac Snow Leopard OS (10.6).
The new software can be found at the following site:
Snow Leopard Product Support Matrix
It's easy to install and from what I can tell works fine.
There is one thing you need to know - Mac 10.6 and 10.6.1 are still having problems with the new Type 4 ICC profiles. According to XRite, Apple is aware of the problem and will fix it with a software update to Snow Leopard.
In the mean time this is what you should do if you are using Snow Leopard:
ColorMunki - Start the process of "Profile My Display..... Go to Profile My Display & Projector > Preferences. Change BOTH "ICC Profile Version" settings to "Version 2" for Display & Printer.
That's it.
Now you can profile your display. Be aware that your existing ColorMunki printer profiles ar Type 4 and should be regenerated as Type 2. I haven't done that yet for my printer profiles so I can't say what the differences are, if any.
I'll let you know as soon as I can create and test the new profiles.
I1 - According to XRite, "This release of Eye-One Match is currently not able to create correct large ICC4 monitor profiles on the new Intel Macs. It is recommended to create only default monitor profiles on the Intel Macs until a new version of Eye-One Match will be released."
HueyPro - Just use the new software.
