Does anyone know how to calibrate an arbitrary color printer? I specifically want to calibrate mine, but there surely must be some tool where you upload a scan of a test print with clean colors and gradients, and it creates profiles that can then be applied to any image before printing to achieve better color accuracy than without all this? It’s understood that this introduces a scanner into the process, which adds its own color distortions, but it seems that scanner distortions are nothing compared to those from a cheap color printer.
Meaning, of course, you can just respond and manually adjust the sliders to make the scan and the original look as similar as possible. But in the end, that only lets me optimize the raster image, while I’d like this to be a default setting in the Mac OS printing system. Sure, for raster images I can whip something up myself, but I want such rules to apply to everything that goes to the printer from any application…
