Question

Paper profiles

I previously downloaded 2 paper profiles from Fotospeed and installed as recommended but having not been printing photos for some time I find they now don't appear in the popup (which appears to show just display profiles) when not using the managed by printer but "other" choice. Yet in looking in Color sync and profiles they appear to be there!

I have copied the paper profiles  to all profile/color sync options but no joy!

I think there must have been an update to Big Sur as they did previously work! I have an IMac.

Good old Apple!!

Anyone help ?

    There is apparently a bug in Mac OSX Big Sur 11.6.2 in connection with ICC profile use / printing,

    Some users have reported success after updating to Monterey, personally I'd be more likely to go back a version rather than jumping into a new OSX version soon after release.

    Sadly this bug appears to still be present in 11.6.3, according to users here who have made that upgrade.

     

    I hope this helps

    I am running into the same problem with my custom printer profiles communicating to my Epson.  Unfortunately I can't go forward to Monterey.  My MacBook Pro is from 2014.  What version do you suggest I reinstall?  I appreciate finding this post.  I had no idea what was going on.

    OS 11.2 on, until 12.X has a bug that doesn't allow the profiles to show up. If you can upgrade to OS X 12.2.1, problem solved.
