HP Photo Paper ICC Profiles

Where can I download the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, Advanced Photo Paper and Everyday Photo Paper ICC Profiles?

I have never been able to find them on HP's website; this is one of the reasons I always set the printer to manage colors. By the way, it seems that I can't set my C7280 not to manage color. Since I get good results, I have not bothered to search further. I also use Ilford papers.

Paper icc profiles

Can any one help please?
I have downloaded a paper icc profile, I can see it in my downloads file in the dock. I am stuck on how I put it in to colorsync utility profile.

I assume you are not using an Epson paper.
Option 1) Look in the documentation that came with the paper. It should give you the settings to use for most major printer companies.
Option 2) Assuming that you know that the paper is a matte finish, look at the documentation of your printer and figure out which of their papers is matte - then use the settings for that one.
So I am thinking that it would be good would it not to simply ignore that field and instead chose the icc profile back at the colorsync profile window.
Bad idea. Assuming that you now have your profiles working, you use them for soft proofing (Onscreen Proofing in Aperture speak) and for setting the colors of your printed output. You still have to tell the printer what kind of paper you are using - plain, photo, glossy, matte, etc. If you don't, you may get the colors right, but you risk to have too much/little ink and the wrong drying time, etc. In other words, a rather pricey mess.
For example, I use Costco paper a lot. The box tells me that for most Canon printers, I should use the settings for "Photo Paper Pro." I used the same ICC profile until I discovered that there is actually a better one, the GL profile. But that is trial and terror.
I also use Red River papers. Again, the box tells me the printer settings and I use the Red River ICC profile and get very good results. (N.B. Using soft proofing can help a lot, especially with "green" recycled papers which are not very white.)
Hope this is helpful.

Cant select the paper ICC profile in the applications page saet-up or print

Cant select the paper ICC profile in the applications page set-up or printer box.
I loaded a new paper profile into what I thought was the proper places(s) and it showed up in some applications but not in another. Does this mean the application is at fault? Can anyone tell me where the profiles are supposed to be installed?
Thank you in advance.

This is from "Ask Chris' forum:
Also, I suspect you are confusing paper types with color profiles. The paper types you see in the driver will not change: http://www.inkjetart.com/news/archive/IJN_01-26-06.html#3

Paper icc profiles with 1/2/3 or 4 in the name ??

I would like to know what the significance of the numbers within the canon profile icc paper listings has? For instance, I used the Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster paper type for a print tonight. I used Photoshop CS6 and used the Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in from Photoshop; I set media type at Photo Paper Pro Lustre. But when I chose the icc profile, there were two choices available:
"Canon Pro-1 v1-1 new<LU>1/2/3 Photo Paper Pro Luster " or
"Canon Pro-1 v1-1 new <LU>4 Photo Paper Pro Luster".
(EDIT: my printer is the Canon Pro-1 type model, using ethernet connection, color print, no color match, etc.).
I see where in the regular print driver that under "Main", "Print Quality", "Custom", "Set", that the first slider for Print Quality offers 1 or 2 (but does NOT allow 3 or 4 or 5 which are grayed out and not a choice).
So does anyone understand why there are two icc profiles for "Photo Paper Pro Luster", and
does anyone understand the Print Quality settings and how they apply or how do those work along with the 1/2/3 and 4 in the icc profile choices?
Thanks, Debra

I think I found an explanation in one of the Canon manuals for the Pro-1 printer (Page 77), which I printed out last week certain pages.
It states:
Icc profiles installed for this printer(pro-1) are as follows:
Canon XXXXX <GL> <PP> 1/2 Photo Paper Plus Glossy&Gold
(1) is the model name of printer (the XXXXX part)
(2) is the print quality (the 1/2 part)
The print quality is divided into 5 levels, ranging from high speed to high quality. As the number decreases, the print quality becomes higher. This value corresponds to the QUALITY slide bar in the CUSTOM dialog box of the printer driver.
(3) is the media type. (the Photo paper.....Gold part)
This media name corresponds to the following media type:
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II N: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II N
Photo Paper Plus Glossy&Gold: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II
Photo Paper Pro Platinum: Photo Paper Pro Platinum
etc.
Page at the bottom shows 77, but I am not sure which of the several user guide/manuals that it was printed from.

Paper ICC profiles download

B8850 Printer with Windows 7 Bit OS
Would like to know if HP website has a download page(s) for ICC paper profiles.
I have found "http://h10088.www1.hp.com/cda/gap/display/main/index.jsp?zn=gap&cp=20000-13698-16022-14355^81765_404...
which gives ICC paper Profiles for other company's papers but not for HP's own papers.
Would like to buy HP but at this rate I think I might buy a competitors paper :-(

Hi,
I have this printer and can't believe their is no ICC profile supplied with it. I contacted HP via the website and received an automated response saying I should receive assistance within the hour. 5 days later with still no response I sent them a chaser, only to be told to call them on their US number. When I got through, the support guy new nothing about ICC profiles and then refused to talk to me because I was in the UK.
Way to go HP. Will. Not. Be. Buying. Your. Products. Again.

Installing paper .icc profiles

I'm new to Mac, and I knew how to do with in Windows, but ... I want to install new icc paper profiles from Ilford for an Epson printer. I downloaded the profile and it sits on my desktop, but I don't know to install it. Unzipping puts it on the desktop but doesn't auto install; double-clicking just opens the profile but doesn't install. The Ilford "read me" file says "+Save the profile into the following location: OSX 10.5 (Leopard): Library/ColorSync/Profile"+ but I don't know what "save...into" means. Thanks for any guidance,
Brian

I don't know what "save...into" means.
I think you just manually drag and drop your profile file into that location. Open up your drive icon and navigate to Library/ColorSync/Profiles and you should see a number of them already there.

Where can I download ICC profile for Canon paper?

Hi,
I bought a new MacBookPro and suddenly the ICC profiles that used to be in my Canon Pixma Pro 10 are missing. I'm specifically looking for: Canon luster, platinum, museum etching. Can anyone point me to the right direction please? Thanks.

I am having a similar problem. I had previously printed on my new Canon Pixma Pro 10 to Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster from my MacBook Pro retina running 10.10.3. I upgraded to Lightroom 6. Now I do not have the ICC profile for the luster paper available under Color Management in LR6. I downloaded and reinstalled the print driver but that didn't give me the profile. All of the ICC profile downloads that I can find are for other vendors' papers. The link in ssprengel's post takes me to the driver download page but it doesn't give me the Canon paper ICC profiles. Help.

ICC Profiles for papers and not for HP printers.

Hello, I apologize if this has been asked a billion times before, but I have been trying to find the ICC profiles to install for a different printer.
I am not using a HP printer, but a Canon iP6000D. Let me explain, I'm a student and my class required me to buy different papers that were not for my original printer and I have to install ICC profiles for the papers I chose. My problem is I cannot find the ICC profiles for the paper I bought on the HP site, it's very unweildy and hard to find here. I had no problem finding my moab printer paper ICC profiles... HP seems to enjoy hiding their profiles.
So where would I find the iCC profiles for the Hp premium plus Photo paper that is Soft gloss 8.5x11" 200gm 80lb? I've looked all over and it seems to be impossible to find.

Blue prints purple with Canon ICC profiles

Hi,
I am printing a "printer evaluation image" (http://www.outbackprint.com/printinginsights/pi049/essay.html) with my Canon Pro 9000 (Mk I). When selecting System Managed on the ColorSync option in the print dialog everything prints perfect. (Of course I have selected the correct paper under media in the driver)
When selecting the paper ICC profile in the ColorSync option blue turns into purple in the printer dialog image, same things goes for the print (at least it matches...). All other colors, skin tones etc looks perfect.
So it seems to me like everything is ok as long as the printer handles the color management, but when Aperture 2 handles it something goes wrong.
I have spent several hours googling the problem, as well as double checking all setting, driver version etc. I have tried different papers and the problem is consistent. Both OSX and Aperture version is up to date.
Anyone with similar problem? Is it an Aperture problem or is it the Canon ICC profiles?
Thomas

Hi,
Here is an update for those who are interested:
I believe I have been able to isolate the problem to Aperture. This is what I did:
Step 1). Used Keynote to make a 100% Blue square and exported that to a 16-bit TIFF.
Step 2). Imported the TIFF into Aperture, used the DigitalColor Meter utility to ensure it was 100% Blue. Print: Selected the Canon Pro9000 PR1 Profile, In the print settings selected Photo Paper Pro II and set quality to high. Preview is purple AND print is purple.
Step 3). Then imported the TIFF into Pixelmator, again with DigitalColor Meter utility ensured that it was still 100% Blue. Print: Under Color matching menu selected Color Sync and Canon Pro PR1 Profile, under Quality and Media menu selected Photo Paper Pro II and set quality to high. Preview is Blue AND print is Blue!!
To me this seems to indicate the following:
1). The Canon driver is good - Works perfectly with Pixelmator
2). The Canon Pro9000 PR1 profile is fine - works perfectly with Pixelmator
3). The Printer is fine - again... Pixelmator
4). Even though my system is not color calibrated, it is quite good - Preview match print with Pixelmator.
That leaves Aperture and how it handles ICC profiles with the Canon Pro9000 driver...
Anybody else able to confirm this?

Access priviliges problem when installing ICC profile

Hi
I have a Mac Pro and recently I did a clean install of Lion. The previous OS was 10.6.8.
What I did was I formatted the hard disk where the 10.6.8. was and installed Lion. I also have three other hard disks on my Mac Pro: A mirrored RAID set of 2x750GB drives and a third 750GB drive.
When I did to install a Epson paper ICC profile today, I failed and got the answer "You do not have enough access privileges for this installation."
Furthermore on my Mackintosh HD sharing & permissions it says "You can only read." System user has read & write permissions, a mysterious "wheel" has read only permissions as have the user "everyone" No admin at all mentioned. The other two disks are identical with the exception of this mysterious "wheel" user.
I compared sharing & permissions with my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8. and which works normally. MacBook Pro´s Mackintosh read & write permissions are:
system: read & write
admin: read & write
everyone: read only
I normally made me an account with password when installing the Lion to my Mac Pro. When I cehck users & gropus of the Mac Pro, I am the admin and the only visible other user is guest user.
I would very much appreciate help. This is my first real problem with Macs and I´m getting clueless.

Thanks so much for you quick reply Ralph.
Is there possibly a thread here where this procedure has been alreay explained? Could you link it to me please? I just dont know how to use the sudo command. Additionally, does the admin password you mention mean the password I made up when installing Lion or some other, superuser password?
Thanks for your time and effort.

CS3 to CS4 P S upgrade printer/paper icc files not working - Help!

Have upgraded PS to CS4 AND upgraded Mac from PPC to Intel (10.5.6) on new MacPro. and using Epson 2400 printer. I rescued 3 important icc profiles and managed to load them onto new machine. When I go to print image the paper icc profile is visible and in the printer Menu my 3 presets are also visible. I allow PS to manage colors and disable color management. However the printed image is rubbish and it seems that the icc profile & preset have been ignored. I was able to print 1 image on my old PPC for it finally gave up on me - it was perfect.
I have got to produce approx 50 images by April 6th for my degree course - desperation is setting in!
Any advice out there as to where I should be looking for problem area.
many thanks

Profiles have nothing to do with PPC or Intel.
For those that don't want to search. Here are 2.

And I am sure there is more.
The bottom line is that your printer driver needs to be properly updated for Leopard. And properly installed. Try reinstalling it.
Set it as the default printer. Check CUPS interface to make sure. http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
Must be registered in the ColorSync Utility. If not it is not properly installed.
If all this fails you can use the ColorSync Utility workaround. But it needs to be registered in the CU. None Leopard compliant driver should register in the CU when installed.
I have a Canon iPF9000 with a combination driver install that works properly in Leopard and a Epson 9600 that does not work properly in Leopard (I doubt there will ever be Leopard compatible drivers) but will print fine using the ColorSync Utility workaround.

How to apply ICC profiles on all the photos in preset before printing.   and user preset

Hi,
hope someone can point me to the right direction.. I have 2 questions about ICC profiles and settings in lightroom.
1.) I found that many photos that I have is a little two blue. There are thousands of photos. I would like to know if there is a way in Lightroom to "Autobatch" the changes to all those photos.
The changes are under "white balance" -> "temp" -> (need to increase by 2)
2.) I will send out the photos to print . According to the photo stores tech, I can apply their ICC (printer/paper) profiles before sending the files to them. So, it will have better match how the photos come out.
Last time I printed some photos with them, many of the come out too dark.   But it looks fine on screen, and a little too red if I use my own inkject printer. I hope I correct this.
If it cannot be done in lightroom, it can only be done with Photoshop, please let me know. I will try to use other computer with PS installed.   just let me know the steps.
Thanks in advance.

I would sugget two UI changes:
1. The enable / disable is confusing - the toggle switch to turn it on, changes the button label to "Auto Sync" to indicate that it is on. But, this is highly un-conventional and confusing - usually a button label indicates what will happen when you click, not that it is on, and clicking it will actually turns it off - bass-freakin'-ackwards if you ask me!... (Add to it the toggle switch tooltip is the same in both cases - indicating that the switch will enable it, when actually, in one case it will enable, but in the other case it will disable...)
2. Some simple UI difference that you can't ignore but doesn't bug the ship out of you either, when auto-sync is on: maybe a red-tint to the slider draggers or something...
Summary: Once you use something other than the button label to indicate Auto-Sync is on, then you can change the button label to read "Auto Sync Off". And if the On indication has an "ommi-present" quality to it - so much the better.

Icc profiles fine arts paper grayed out in Lion

Running Lion, In the print dialogue box, I can't access the icc profiles for Epson fine arts paper, even though I have the matte black cartridge installed. In the Media Type box, the Fine Arts selection includes all three fine arts papers for my Epson 2880 printer, but all three are grayed out. However, it works fine for matte papers. My icc profiles (including the three for Epson fine arts papers) are installed in ~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles, also in HD/Library/Colorsync/Profiles. Any suggestions?

Same problem with greyed out profiles for Fine Art Papers
The ICC Profiles for the Epson fine art papers that I downloaded from their site are coming up with errors in the ColorSync Profile First Aid. I redownloaded the profiles, but they’re still showing up as bad profiles and they can’t be fixed.
Sample error:
Header padding is not null.
Tag 'DEVD': Tag reserved field is not zero.
Tag 'DEVS': Tag reserved field is not zero.
The file is locked. Could not be fixed.
So what do I do now?

I can't print a photo because the ICC profile is not installed. What do I do?

Try from the Editor "Save As"
Then choose jpeg with sRGB profile.

For archiving photos, should I save sRGB ICC profile?

Hi all.
I have started scanning old print photographs for archive.
I started a bunch of them, but now am pondering if whether or not I should save an ICC profile to the files.
Basically I'm scanning in the photos at 600 dpi, and saving them as TIFF with NO compression and set to IBM PC.
For the ICC profile option, it gives me sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Do I need to tick that when saving, or will the colors look fine in future computers/applications?
I'm kinda confused on the ICC/sRGB matter even after reading about it. From what I understood it's only to display colors accurately for the Web.
How does ICC/sRGB factor into my archival project?
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback, tips and advice.
Thank you.

Yes, if you are archiving, save the document with it's profile.
You don't need to convert to any particular profile (which could lose details), just save with the profile of the document.
ICC defines a standard for describing document colors. Without that information, your document is just numbers without any known appearance. With a profile, the document numbers have an unambiguous interpretation as colors.
sRGB is just a profile that represents the average CRT as of 10+ years ago, and is sort of a standard average for web viewing on uncalibrated displays and web browsers that don't always obey profiles.
