Help not locating printer profile

2. Re: How to install Epson ICC profiles using Photoshop CC?
Mark Goodwin LRPS Aug 28, 2014 4:14 PM
I had a problem and needed to upload a HP Printer Profile.I down loaded it from the site then opened and placed in the Mac: Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder. I then restarted the computer and restored PS CC separately. I was able to find the profile under the View>Custom> drop down and select it. But when I came to the print stage the profile was not to be found in PD Print. I also trued installing the profile via Username/Library?ColourSync?Profile folder. But still no luckHelp please?

I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either. It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com). But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability. But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )
Must I give up?

Can not save print profiles in print templates

I can not save print profiles on color managemet tab with the print templates.
And for my previously saved templates, I saved related profiles with the templates, but now when I click on the templates, they show empty space in place of related profiles on the color management tab.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks.

It happened today, when I play with the profiles. I don't know how could I do that ... but paper profiles can not be saved with print templates and with print collections. That section even does not have any selection, it is empty. I'm sure that it will create some confusion for me later when printing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lightroom 3 not accessing printer profiles

I'm not able to access newly installed Epson R3000 printer profiles when I go to print in Lightroom 3. The profiles do show up when I to print in PS3. I'm operating under 10.5.8 on my imac.

You have LR set to not access Managed by Printer and can’t access from selecting “other” from the sub menu?

BUG(?): background color not in print profile

When printing a photo from Lightroom 3 with paper background color this color is not corrected for printing, although I print with icc, print profile from Spyderprint. The photo itself is corrected. This means that the paper backround is colored instead of gray, for example.
Is this a bug? I think so, because I there is no way I can change this.
Thanks

Hello CameraHans (are you Dutch, by the way?)
The whole border or sheet has a color cast. The photo itself has not. Both are in greys, so I will do as you suggested and look what happens when I do this in colors.
I will insert 3 screenshots, 2 of the Lightroom environment, and 1 of the print preview, I used here the 'contour' to show the effect. You can very well see that the color of the border does not change at all, Thanks, Hans van den Berg

CS6 printer profiles

CS6 does not reconize printer profiles used in cs5, why and how is this fixed?

Thanks, Jeff. This issue goes far beyond Adobe. I'm trying to resolve colorspace problems that get even more confusing when there are multiple web pages or other documents at multiple websites, including software companies and camera companies that have conflicting information for the same thing. I don't want to add something else into the mix that may make things worse. Unless the user can have the settings that they know worked on their device to rely on as a point of reference to make controlled changes to accommodate a software change, it's like taking two handfulls of M&Ms to represent various colorspaces in three places in a program and using trial and error to figure out which two or three colors to use and in which order. I think of this as informative dialog and not venting.
Update: After burning through another color ink cartridge and 20 more sheets of Kodak glossy photo paper, I managed to come up with a combination of profiles and colorspaces that are acceptable with the Kodak ESP9 printer in PS CS6. While Adobe RGB should work from the Nikon D7000 JPEG for a larger color gamut, with the Kodak printer, the colors were dull. Went back to sRGB in the camera and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the working RGB profile. In this printer, color management cannot be disabled in the printer itself, so I selected Adobe RGB. In the PS Print Settings Color Management, PS Manages Colors, and the Printer Profile is Beta RGB (Adobe RGB is not an available choice). After increasing the photo brightness to about +20, the contrast slightly, and increasing the shadows setting to bring out the shadowed areas somewhat, the printed photo is a close match to the on-screen image on the calibrated LED monitor. When I tried CIE RGB, the colors were more saturated but had too much blue. Maybe this will help others.

LR and Printer Profiles

Okay... I shoot in RAW. I make adjustments in LR before I make the move to my final edits in PS. When I assign a profile to the image such as the profiles found at www.drycreekphoto.com (in my case for Costco-CA-San Diego-Morena Blvd...) I get a serious color shift. SO every change I made in LR becomes worthless. What AM I doing wrong?
Can anyone help me here?
THanks,
Jeff

You should NEVER assign the profile. You should convert to it. Costcos will get you very good prints if you convert to their profile or simply use sRGB.
Since you are doing this in PS. Your workflow should be to softproof to the drycreek profile, adjust (typically using adjustment layers) for any color shifts that you don't like. And then finally convert to the profile. Then you want to save as a jpeg, stripping out the profile, and upload the resulting jpeg to costcophotocenter.com. Make sure you set it to full resolution (very obnoxious that it defaults to scaling down your picture) and make sure you turn off their color correction.
P.S. drycreek's website explains all this in detail
Lastly, as Seán (never noticed the accent on the a before!) notes using printer profiles is useless if you do not accurately calibrate your monitor.

Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section

Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section
I used Colormunkie Photo to create an .ICM file for printer calibration. When that failed I tried changing the suffix to .ICC. Under neither circumstance did LR4.2 display the file in the menu to select printer profile. There were several display files with both suffixes but no printer files at all. I tried three times with no success and cannot think of what else to try. The first two were the same. I varied the file creation name suffix in the third. Help will be appreciated. My OS is Win 7 ultimate SP1 Printer is HP 2550L laserjet.

Glad you found your answer, Colormunki is smart enough to figure out the color space for the printer as I found out - But for quality work the latest generation of inkjet printers from Epson and Canon are hard to beat, and compared to a laserjet the quality is like night and day. The other benefit of changing up to an inkjet printer is the choice of papers available which you could not put through a laserjet.
I had a colleague that tried printing on Photoglossy paper through his color laser and it fried the fuser, and HP, while they replaced the fuser unit under warranty, made it very clear that that was a daft thing to do.
So if I were in your position I would go with an inkjet and you will then enjoy the benefits of better quality output, better paper choices and with your Colormunki be able to make custom profiles that will work in LR
Cheers

Elements 6 Printer Profile not showing up on Elements 10 when I go to Print

A third party created a printer profile that I successfully used on Elements 6. However that Printer Profile is not functioning with Elements 10. I would definitely like that Printer Profile to operate when I print on Elements 10. What to do to accomplish that goal? That's the overview. Here's the details: In Elements 10, I press Print. then Change Settings. Then Print Quality (Listed as default 720dpi,terrible print quality). Press Change. That takes me to Epson Stylus 3800 Properties. That box has the right Printer Profile I used in Elements 6. I press OK to get it embedded in Elements 10, but it won't embed and I'm stuck with the 720dpi default. Can someone help with this enigma? I thank you in advance for your time,expertise and willingness to help me!

Hi,
How do you set this up, direct or thru an access point (AP)? Please check your setup with this book

Printer Profiles Not Visible in LR4 Mac

Hey guys, just checking to see if there is something I'm missing.
Short version: My printer profiles are not showing up in the "choose profile" dialog in LR4.
Long versioin: I'm trying to print an image from LR4 to my Xerox Phaser 8560 using a custom color profile I created with my ColorMunki. However the profile isn't showing up in the "choose profile" dialog box. There is also no apparent way to open a dialog box to search for the file. The profile is recently created. Works in Indesign CS4. It's located in the main Library/Colorsync/Profiles/ and my user (~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles/). It doesn't show up even when checking the "include display profiles" checkbox which is the only option available.
System: iMac 27" 3.4Ghz i7 16G Ram; Xerox Phaser 8560DN; LR 4.0
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Jason

You likely made a CMYK profile for the printer and LR doesn't support CMYK profiles. You'll have to remake the profile to be an RGB profile. ColorMunki can do that although it'll default to CMYK unless you override that...

Epson 3800 printer profiles not showing up in Photoshop 3 and 5

When I try to print to my Epson PRO 3800, asking Photoshop to handle colors, this printer profiles are not available. I have this printer for years and have always used PS CS3 to print (and handle colors). Now I have PS CS5 but continue to use 3 for printing to the 3800, because the Epson profiles disppeared from CS5. Now they have disappeared from CS3 too. Any advices?
Thanks1

it might be helpful to include what os you are using (unless i missed it)

Printer Profiles Help Please

Hi all, hoping to get a bit of help understanding printer profiles, the benefit of using them, how I know which profile to use etc etc. Would obviously like to get the best prints I can and if changing these setting will help it makes sense to get to knw how to use them. Just got a new printer too, so makes sense to start off on the right foot with it.
Using a Mac with OSX 10.9.1
Lightroom 5.3 Camera Raw 8
Canon Pixma MG5550 Printer. (new)

Printing using profiles has the potential of greatly improving your color accuracy and optimizing the results. I don't have the same printer you do, I have a Canon Pixma Pro-100. On the Canon website, under support for my printer, there was a download available that installed printer profiles for all of the different Canon papers. Additionally, I use several different Red River papers. And Red River provides profiles and instructions telling you what profiles to use to get the best results.
But the profiles alone will not guarantee that you will get good results. Your monitor needs to be adjusted to match what the printer produces. Those who are in the know insist that a hardware calibration device is a must in order to get accurate color. So far, I have not purchased one. But at the very least you should make a print and then adjust your monitor using monitor controls and operating system controls to match that monitor as closely as you can to the print. This is not the ideal or recommended way to set up your monitor. I'm still deciding whether or not to purchase a calibration device.
Once you have got your monitor adjusted to your satisfaction the process to set up your printing requires careful attention. It involves choosing one of the Canon papers that is closest to what you are using if it is not Canon paper. You make this choice in the Canon driver, and you choose from one of the Canon papers. You turn OFF color management in the printer driver. Then in your software that you will use to print you will instruct it to manage the color. If you are using third-party paper and have profiles for that paper, the manufacturer will tell you what profiles you should use.
Printing with profiles proved to be a bit tricky for me when I first started. I made several mistakes. But once the process sank in I found that my prints improved significantly.

Printer profiles not recognised in Photoshop CS6 print dialogue

Note that the Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat print dialogues see all my (custom) printer profiles.
Even Photoshop sees them in the Apply Profile and Convert to Profile dialogues: just not when trying to print.
Is this a known problem?

Printer profiles not displayed in PS CC dropdown

I created printer profiles using SpyderPrint, which showed up in PS's print dialog box. I then renamed the profiles in Win7. PS still shows the old filenames, and prints from them, but doesn't show the new names. I've restarted, rebooted, started softproof--nothing helps. The new filenames don't show up. How can I refresh the list in Photoshop.CC?

Are you deploying the profile at user or machine level? I know you may know this but others may not but Apple began the deprecation of WorkGroup Manager with 10.7. FWIW those of us who've been using these technologies since 10.2 and earlier learnt to adapt and used a combination of many applications (some 3rd-party) as well as other techniques which over time worked consistently well. I suppose what I'm trying to say is don't pin all your hopes on PM because it's still not 'enterprise-ready' for OS X yet IMO. I think other veterans and professionals in my field may agree? Having said that I did make it work at some installations/deployments since its first release. Yet at other installations I saw exactly the same behaviour as you do. No logical reason as to why as the network contractor was the same for all those sites. For me this effectively ruled out the network topology and infrastructure as a potential source of the problem. Interestingly I noticed it occasionally worked if the printers were in the same subnet as the macs but even this was not conclusive.

Printer Profile- Custom Paper not installing

I've been having an issue from prior to switching to the iPrint appliance where when I make a Printer Profile and add a custom paper size, that the custom paper does not get installed with the printer. I'm using the HP Universal Print Driver PCL6, v5.7, and in the process that I find that I am required to edit a driver's profile twice in order to add the custom paper type, in my case a clone of Letter called Letterhead.
The first time that I edit the printer driver profile I configure as much of the first driver screen as I can since I can't give the correct Letterhead tray assignment because it hasn't been created in the 2nd Printer Properties screen yet. Then I get to the screen and create the Letterhead paper type, open the PDP again and assign the Letterhead paper to the correct tray and then complete the PDP.
When the printer deploys to the systems it deploys with the letterhead tray showing as an Unknown paper type, even though I can go back into the PDP and see Letterhead designated on the tray. I can usually go into the local system manually and create the Letterhead type and assign the tray but whenever there is an update to the printer I have to manually fix the tray. Am I missing something for deploying custom paper in iPrint?

Hi there Wolf!
I have a couple of articles here that I believe will help you out with your question. First, here is an article with some information on custom paper sizes:
OS X Mountain Lion: Manage custom paper sizes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10748
Note that in that article, it states:
Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers.
The reason for that is because this is controlled by the driver for the individual printer. You will want to make sure you have the latest version of the printer driver installed on your computer. More information on this can be found in the following article:
Printer and scanner software available for download
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
It might also be helpful to reset your printing system to see if that will resolve the issue. More information on this process can be found here:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Print profile not in illustrator, but works in photoshop - CS5

I'm sure I'm just missing a checkbox somewhere, but I can't seem to find it and no one else seems to be asking the question.
This print profile works great for me in both illustrator and photoshop. My coworker came over with a purplish print so I went over to show him how to use the profile.
I shut down illustrator, started it back up and loaded the file. Hit print, and went to color management > Printer Profile: ...but the profile wasn't there. In fact, only about half of the installed profiles are there.
I went to his photoshop and the profiles all show up as they should. I verified the profile is in the correct place, same as the help file says for windows 7.
It works on some of our computers, but not on this one. The only explaination I can come up with is he's checked a setting somewhere that disables certain profiles, or maybe disables the ability to add new ones...just in illustrator.
Any help on this? I'm stumped.

Doesn't look like mike actually read much of the problem there. That's actually for a mac, I mentioned I was able to load the profiles, and syncronizing color settings doesn't change the profiles available it just makes it so all the software treat the profiles in the same way. I did learn something though.
I didn't know that only certain profiles show up though. That's interesting. I have the same printer installed 3 ways. Direct through IP address using the post script driver, through our server using the PS driver, and direct with PCL6. All of them allow me to choose the profile. My coworker only had it installed through the server as PCL6 (not really what he wanted anyway, but he didn't know it).
So I quick installed the PS driver through the server and that one works fine. His other driver still doesn't. So that's odd, but thank you. Your comment lead me to the correct solution.
