Adobe® Color Printer Utility to print your targets without color management

[Telepyleia]

Hi, I'm having trouble positioning a file on the page in Adobe Printer Utility.  When I set it up in Photoshop it shows it in the upper right corner but when I print from the utility, it prints in the middle of page halfway down.

Thanks.

I moved your post to a better forum. From LrC to the Photoshop forum.

I'm puzzled by your description of your issue.

You mention "setting it up in Photoshop" but the Adobe Color Print Utility is separate from Photoshop. It has one purpose only and that is to print color targets with no color management so they can be read with a spectrophotometer and ICC profiles produced. So there is nothing to set up in Photoshop. You select the paper size and margins in ACPU under Print Set Up before printing

Hi Dave, when I say set up in photoshop I mean that I position the image on the canvas there.  So, if I'm printing an image that is 3x5, I would position it to be printed in the upper left-hand corner of the 8.5x11 canvas (page).  This file is exported as a tiff and opened in Adobe Printer Utility for printing and prints in the middle of the 8.5 x 11 sheet.   I do print set up in Adobe Printer Utility to print on a 8.5 x 11 page (which is the size of the page) and it still prints in the middle.

The Adobe printer utility is not for printing things you made in Photoshop.  To repeat "It has one purpose only and that is to print color targets with no color management so they can be read with a spectrophotometer and ICC profiles produced. "

To print things you made in Photoshop, print FROM Photoshop, job done.

Hi

to repeat,

the ACPU is NOT for printing images made in Photoshop. 

If you want to print an image and use Photoshop options it should be printed from Photoshop

OR

Is there a reason you wish to print thus image without colour management?

ARE you actually printing a colour management printer analysis (profiling) target?

That is the ONLY intended purpose for the ACPU.

I hope this helps

if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution

thanks
