Epson Paper profiles-location/deletion

I just installed some Epson 3800 "Professional Profiles". They found a home in two places. 1st on Lib/Printers/Epson/InkjetP2/IccProfiles/Pro38.profiles where they are in a cryptic "Package" form. They also went to Lib/ColorSync/Profiles/Epson Stylus Pro3800 where they are in a normal .icc with color space symbol form. I clearly don't need or want these in two places-do I?  Can I get rid of all the cryptic "package" versions and just use the ones in the ColorSync folder for everything?
I also want to get rid of many unneeded profiles so what comes up in the printer dialog has limited choices etc. I have 48 of these Package crypticlly labled profiles in the  first listed Lib/Printers/Epson/InkjetP2/IccProfiles/Pro38.profiles location. I cannot tell what they are for except for the 9 I just installed  from epson.   Any advice/help will be appreciated. Thanks.

(1) Don't use "Lib" instead of "Library". (There are actually lots of folders on your disk named "lib".)
(2) Don't delete anything in </Library>, unless you know precisely and exactly what it does and that you won't need it. Rule of thumb: If you need to ask, don't do it.
(3) There's nothing cryptic about a 'package'. It's merely a type of folder (directory), and you can see its contents by ctrl-click/right-click and choosing Show Package Content.
(4) As a rule, an Epson printer driver should give you the option of using either ColorSync or Epson's colour controls. It's usually better to have options…

  • Unable to install an Epson paper profile: Unidentified Developer(!)

    Hi guys,
    Just bought an Epson 3880 printer and, after much research, selected and purchased a specific Epson paper. I downloaded the ICC profile and double clicked it to install it but got the following message: "Can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot,

    i have a Macbook Pro 17"
    i put it in the colorsync folder in my library but do not see it on the pull down menu for the printer
    thank you! diana

    I am printing a photo in Photoshop elements. the first dialog has an option at the bottom and there lies the ICC profiles although the next screen that has the drop down menus for colorsync, paper handling etc does not have all the ICC profiles. i am not sure which one I should use.
    in addition my photo on preview is in purple and printed in Purple instead of blue (sky).

  • How to load Epson paper profiles in Acrobat for Mac?

    Hi,
    I'm currently testing different Epson papers to find the best type of my needs (Architectura drawings). I have downloaded the profiles from Epsons website (ICC Profiles) but when I open the print dialogue in Acrobat 8 for Mac, the profiles are not there, although there is some Epson profiles.
    The link shows the settings and profiles (I can't seem to upload an image). The profiles are in 'coloursync' but Adobe doesn't see it.
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.3
    Thank You
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1055166/printer.jpg

    I found it. I went into the Print dialog and under 'Color matching' I chose 'Colorsync' (instead of Epson colorcontrols) which brings up a list of all the epson profiles that I have made or have downloaded.
    Works Great!
    Thanks

  • Adobe 2014.2.1  Windows versions 7.  Problems with Epson R3000  ICC paper profiles

    I've recently added an Ilford paper profile to my Photoshop.  The profile appears in workspaces and I can set the workspace to that profile.  When I try to print the profile appears when I set Photoshop handles colour management, but when I go to Printer Settings...... I only see Epson paper profiles.  Why can't I seet the Ilford profile to select it?

    OK, so 24hrs later and problem solved.. I moved the printer and connected it directly to the i5 running 10.6.2, then downloaded the latest driver using software update. Everything is fine, and I've got all those options back for setting paper type, quality etc, Great!
    Trouble is, now the old iMac Intel 24" wont print to the printer on the network.....

  • Epson Printer Profiles and Mac ColorSync

    I have had a consistent problem with PS CS3 printing darker than my calibrated monitor despite everything that I do with softproofing etc. Interestingly, when I print the identical image from Lightroom 2.2, the paper print is a much better match to what I am seeing on the monitor. I am beginning to wonder whether the difference has anything to do with the way these programs interact with ColorSync on the Mac. I am using an Intel iMac running OSX 10.4.11 and print with an Epson 2200 using the custom Epson paper profiles available on Epson's website. In both the Lightroom 2.2 and the CS3 I leave ColorSync set to Standard and allow LR or PS to manage the printing (No Color Management); however, when I open the Mac ColorSync Utility and examine the printer profiles there, it is using the standard Epson profiles that came with the printer driver rather than the newer ones (e.g., SP2200 Luster_PK.icc rather than SP2200 Prem.Luster1440.icc). Could this "mismatch" of printer profiles be causing a different result in LR2.2 and Photoshop? Should I change the profile in ColorSync so that it points to the new profiles?
    I'd appreciate anyone's help!!

    Also try the Photodisc PDI target image download here
    http://www.gballard.net/dl/PDI_TargetFolderONLY.zip
    And remember:
    The file (the document Source Space) is independent of Photoshop.
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    In other words:
    The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.

  • I am on Lightroom 4 and using a Epson photo stylus R300 printer and cannot seem to put Hahnemuehle paper profiles on to it, anyone know how?

    Anyone know how to put paper profiles onto a Epson R3000 printer via Lightroom 4?

    Installation using Mac OS:
    1. Double-click on the downloaded Zip-file. The ICC profile will be extracted in the same folder automatically.
    2. Now move the extracted ICC profile to the proper folder listed below.
    Mac OS 8-9x - System Folder > Color Sync Folder
    Mac OS X - HD > User > Library > ColorSync > Profiles
    Note: Please restart your graphics application (eg photoshop) if it was open during the profile installation.

  • Epson 2880 Print Paper Profiles

    Hi Folks,
    I just bought an Epson 2880 printer and also downloaded some Icc paper profiles for it from Epson. On install(double-clicking) on the zipped files all but one of them went through and install process, and now show up when I select printer profiles from within Photoshop CS4. The other just unzipped a file that was put into my downloads folder and says, "colorsync" on it. Where should this Icc profile be placed so it shows up properly in my CS4 profile selections?
    Many thanks for any assistance.
    Jim

    John-Thanks, I thought that was where I should be putting them. After I wrote this note I put the icc profile into my color sync folder and it does show up from within PS 4 as it should.
    Thanks again for your help.
    Jim

  • Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer using Lightroom?

    Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer for use in LightRoom5?

    Epsnm should provide recommended settings (I.e. Which Canon paper type to select). They may also have profiles on their site.

  • Photoshop CS 4 won't use paper profiles.

    Running Photoshop CS 4. Changed operating system to Windows 7 64 bit. Using a calibrated monitor and Epson 3800 printer. The paper profiles are not being applied by photoshop. Printed 50% gray scale patches with no correction. The printer managed  patches were more accurate than the photoshop managed grayscale patches. The photoshop managed 50% gray scale  were not even close. Anyone had this problem. Any insight greatly appreciated.

    Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Alternatively,
    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Icc profile locations inconsistent and confusing

    I apologize in advance for this long winded post, but I really would like some help, if anyone is willing to indulge me. Ive done some searching on the forum, and got some info, but I feel Im still missing something.
    My issue is with printer/paper profiles, and which to use to optimize print/monitor matching. A bit of background. I have not bothered until this morning to set up my Epson 2200 printer on my Mac Pro computer. Today, I finally did so. Im running an 8 core Mac Pro, 4 GB memory, and Lightroom Rev 1.1. I downloaded the latest Intel Mac printer driver from the Epson site, and installed the driver. In addition, I downloaded the paper profile for Epson Premium Luster paper for the Mac from the Epson site (I was surprised to note that the download was not just .icc profiles, but instead, a program that installed the profiles (though the program did not say where the profiles were going, or what the profiles were called).
    Next, I followed the directions for printing in Lightroom that Scott Kelby included in Chapter 8, pages 272-277 and 290-295 of his The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book. I was able to find 3 profiles for Premium Luster Paper when I followed step 4 on page 291 of the book, when I used the other option for Profile under the Color Management pane. The profiles were called, exactly, SP2200 Prem.Luster 1440.icc, SP2200 Prem.Luster 2880.icc, and SP2200 Premium Luster PK, and I was able to select all 3 of them by clicking the checkboxes in front of the profiles and now they show up as selections for printing. Thus far, I have experimented with the 1440 and PK profiles, and printed images using both perceptual and relative rendering intents, and Ive found, to my poor eyes at least, using the PK profile, with perceptual rendering intent, yields the best printer/monitor match (yes, my Eizo ColorEdge CE240W monitor has been recently calibrated using Monaco Optix, in case you were wondering), not great, but marginally acceptable. So far, so good. Now, here are my issues:
    I am trying to understand where the 3 profiles came from, since Im now paranoid about losing them, since I think Im headed in the right direction, at least. When I do a Spotlight search on my Mac, I have been able to find the SP2200 Prem.Luster 1440.icc and SP2200 Prem.Luster 2880.icc profiles under the Macintosh HD 1/Library/Colorsync/Profiles directory. However, the PK profile is not found by Spotlight. Instead, I seem to have located the PK profile by using the Colorsync utility, doing a repair profile, and then looking at profiles. The PK profile appears to reside under the directory Macintosh HD 1/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/, however, it doesnt exist as a separate .icc profile, instead, it appears to reside inside a file called SP2200.profiles, which does not seem to be openable.
    So here are the questions:
    1. Which of these profiles were put into place when I installed the printer driver, and which were created when I downloaded and ran the paper profile for Epson Premium Luster paper program?
    2. Is there a way for me to extract the SP2200 Premium Luster PK from that SP2200.profiles file and put it in the same location as the other 2 .icc files, or should I not care? Im particularly afraid of losing this profile, since its the one that is working best for me at the moment.
    Thanks for any thoughts on this.

    Ans to Q1 - Macintosh HD 1/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/ contains installed with driver and Macintosh HD 1/Library/Colorsync/Profiles were installed by the download.
    Ans to Q2 - Epson put them inside the "package" to keep them safe. You can access the package contents via the Ctrl+click or right+click context menu item labelled "Show package contents" (see attached screenshot), but I would
    strongly urge you not to remove them from the package. You really don't need to care where they are because they're in the safest place. It's when folk try to get smart that the system bites them.

  • Installing paper profiles in CS5

    I am trying to install Hahnemühle paper profiles to print on my Epson R2880, but can not get them to show up in the Printer Profile drop down in the Print window.  I have gone to the paper web sites and picked the paper profile I need.  Then download to my new iMac and they don't show up in Color Sync or in CS5. 
    I had no problems in my old iMac in having them show up as a selection option after I closed Photoshop and reopened it, but can not get my new iMac to do the same.
    Please help!!--Steve

    Check that the profiles are installed in the correct location as shown in the Choose Profiles dialog box which opens from LR. On 32 bit OS this is windows/system32/spool/drivers/color...this may be different on 64 bit OS. LR will only recognise RGB profiles so if you have CYMK profile these will not show up.Also check the box Include Display Profiles as sometimes paper profiles show up as display profiles for some reason.

  • Printer/Paper profiles not showing up in Lightroom 1.3.1

    I installed 2 new paper profiles from Red River over the weekend in XP Pro. Only 1 of them actually show up in lightroom to choose from. The one that can be selected works fine but I can't view the other one. I've tried uninstalled and reinstalling it. I can, however, see and select this profile in Photoshop CS and other applications. Lightroom seems to be the only one with problems. Does this point back to a red river problem or is lightroom picky about something I don't know?

    I talked to LR today -- no help, told me to call Epson.
    Epson advised me to go tp PRINT mode > RT menu > Print Job > Managed by Printer click this and choose other. Drop down menu appears and you can choose your profile. then back to print setting and the profile should show up there.
    My profile did not show there -- I was advised that because I have Matte Black ink cartridge in the print that the Premium Luster will not show because PL will only print with Photo Black.
    So I need to change the ink type and hopefully I will be able to print on the Prem Luster.
    ope this helps you.

  • How to install Epson ICC profiles using Photoshop CC?

    How to install Epson ICC profiles ussing Photoshop CC on Mac?

    Danny,
    Just stop and think for a moment. Firstly, it's not Rocket science to produce an icc profile, and does not involve the profile having to physically 'fit' into a pre-formed item such as the razor blade analogy you used.
    Secondly, If the likes of Epson and HP did produce printer profiles for all makes of paper, can you imagine how much more product they would sell. Printer companies are currently missing out on substantial amounts of income at the moment because the cost of their inks is more expensive than gold! Thus, the third party ink manufacturers - although not producing an ink as good as the original - are earning large sums of money and once again this is income loss to the major printer manufactures.  Can you imagine what would happen if certain vehicles would only run on  a specific fuel? I don't mean Diesel or Petroleum, but different manufacturers, Shell, Texaco, Murco etc.
    At the end of the day the only person who is adversely affected by this business model is us, the consumer.
    I really don't think they need you to be standing up for them Danny.
