Hello. Please help! CMYK Tiif's I create in Photoshop 7.0 brought into QXP5 are over saturated (on the monitor), and when I print out from QXP5 they look as they do on the monitor. If I print the same file from Acrobat or Photoshop, it looks perfect. I am printing from an Non-poscript printer, but should that really make a difference. I can however, print placed RGB images to the same printer without problems. If there is anyone out there who has figured out the issue please respond. I have fiddled with color management in QXP5 and in Photoshop, but my printer does not want me to do so. So I am either stuck creating RGB files and placing them in QXP5 and later after approval changing all files back to CMYK for printing. This can be a later hassle.

disable color management in photoshop and remove the gamma loader from ur startup menu. This will, in some cases, make colors look like junk in photoshop, but when u open the same file in other applications such as Quark, they should come out find. You will almost never be able to callibrate the color settings of one software to another to the printer unless they are all using the same color profile ... save your color profiles from one and see if u can export it or back it up and try to load up the same color profile using quark ... this is assuming u leave color management enabled....

this type of problem is a looong process of trial and error that varies from system to system... real pain in the @ss... just figure out what callibrations u need to make in terms of color before printing and apply them.
