Hello Mark,
From B&H, by a mistake, I just ordered and received ColorMunki Design instead of ColorMunki Photo. I sent them an email reporting the problem to them and here is the reply!!!!
Your initial email said that you DID install it. Sorry but we cannot take it back.
In fact:
- I have not installed the software.
- I have not opened the CDs
- I have not used the software at all.
Even if I have installed the software which I did not do that, the software requires online registration to run. I have not done any kind of any registration.
In addition, the software comes with a tool to run, I beleive, if the tool is not connected to the PC, the software will not run.
After all, the application is not installed and is found for free to install online. Without the tool that comes with, the software will be considered useless.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
Hello Abu
Give them a phone call. I have never had to return anything to them, so I don’t know how they are that way. They could not have gotten so big by ripping people off.

Hello and thank you very much for your reply, your visit to my website and your complement.
Yes, I do understand that ColorMunki is a standalone application. I have downloaded and installed it but could NOT use it.
I fully understand your point on # 2.
Regarding the Print With Profile, I have seen a video that says, ColorMunki is smart that will automatically recognize the type of printer and select the best chart for the currently selected (turned-on) printer!!! How does it know that?
Does ColorMunki have a list of printers embedded or it only assumes the best chart?
Thanks
Hello again Abu
I have never tried the option in ColorMunki to “have ColorMunki set printing applications to use the profile created”(or something like that). I stopped before that point. I did not trust that. I pick the profile I want when printing as I use different profiles created for different papers. You need a profile for each paper, ink, and printer combination. ColorMuki would not know what paper is in the printer, if you have 2 different glossy paper profiles, for example.
I do not understand what you mean by I could not use the downloaded application. Could you please explain more.
Mark
Hello again,
Regarding the use of ColorMunki after installation, due to that I have not yet received a software license
Key, I couldn’t use it. ColorMunki asked me to either register or exit, so, I had to press on exit button (There was no option to proceed as a trail).
Regarding the printer profile creation, as I just knew from the video demos I have seen, as long as you can print the chart to the selectd printer, you only need to name the created profile to have the name of that printer and media type. FYI, I have already set an order for both ColorMunki and ColorChecker Passport. I hope my live on printing will be changed to better printed images.
Thanks
Hello Abu
1. Yes ColorMunki can be used with Photoshop CS. ColorMunki is a stand alone application for creating profiles.
2. ColorMunki can be used to create profiles for any printer. You print the test strips directly from ColorMumki and then measure the results with the ColorMunki Spectrophotometer.
Very interesting site you have. Well done. To bad I can not read it!
Hello,
1. Can I use Photoshop CS (version Eight) with ColorMunki to calibrate the printer?
2. I have Fuji Pictography 4500 printer, can I use ColorMunki to create a profile for it?
Thanks
