Re: Using Powerdriver on Mac installed Photoshop CS 6

Post by themav »

Hi Guys,

From experience does anyone print with sawgrass powerdriver using via mac installed Photoshop. The print is alot more washed out and less vibrant colours compared to when I print through photoshop CS3 through windows on a partition on my Mac.

When i set up both CS3 on windows and CS6 on the mac i followed the sawgrass guides to the letter. Is it a mac issue rather than the power driver/photoshop settings?

I'm using the Rioch 3110 DN.

Thanks

If you're using Photoshop (and have your colour management set up correctly), then you would get better results using ICC profiles compared to PowerDriver.

I have the same setup as you and I use the ICC profile from Sawgrass, not the powerdriver.

Once everything is installed the profile is near the bottom of the available options like this:
