I have Inkscape 0.46 (with liblcms_1.dll in C:\Program Files\Inkscape\ installtion folder) on Windows XP SP2 (and all patches until present).  In the *Color Settings* control panel , I have set the  device profiles as follows:

@    'Displays' --  BenQ E2200W (Digital) on Radeon 9200 Series
@    'Printers' -- Epson IJ Printer 06 on Epson Stylus CX6900f (multifunction)
@    'Scanners' -- Epson Stylus CX6900f/CX7000f/DX7000f scanner - reflective

The  *Color Management* page in the *Inkscape Preferences* dialogue neither displays correctly nor allows profiles to be specified.



In case the embedded pixmap is stripped by the listserv:

@    *Display profile* display <none> and a profile cannot be set.  (Fallback is to mark 'Retrieve profile from display' but I do not know if this is actually happening.  There is a manufacturer supplied profile for my LCD monitor.

@    *Device profile*  drop-down is distorted and does not allow selection of the inkjet printer or an industry CMYK profile such as SWOP ( US Web Coated).

I would like to use colour management in Inkscape if I can, particularly to preview graphics intended for a particular press and paper stock.  But first some answers to a few questions:

@    What is Inkscape's working colour profile, if any?  Adobe RGB 1998?

@    Where do you store ICC *.icc or *.icm profile files on the Windows version of Inkscape?  Or does it use the Windows system profiles in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color ?

Any advice about getting the colour-management functionality in Inkscape to work will be gratefully received.

Regards,
Hedley
