ICC profiles for Epson R1800 and Lightroom - Mac Osx

Without trying to inflame an already heated discussion on prints that are too dark under my lightroom - printer - Mac Osx configuration. (Although I too am a sufferer of the darkness...!)
I have recently downloaded the latest ICC profiles for the R1800 directly from Epson to my Mac. There are three of them and for arguments sake they cover the paper type I want "Premium Glossy Photo Paper"
They download as a .sea file and not .icc as I expected.... My knowledge of Mac's doesnt extend to .sea files I'm afraid.
My question is what do i do with the file now that its downoaded?... Nothing happens when you double click on it and It doesnt appear to try to find where to install itself.
On another thread I read about dropping these files into Library - Colorsync - Profiles. They sit there happily but do not appear to show up in Lightroom when I wish to utilise the profiles.
All the original Epson profiles are there from when I installed the Epson Drivers (new and updated) but no new profiles are there. This is definitely the case as the profile "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" is still there but its name should be changed to "Premium Photo Paper Glossy" according to the Epson website... Besides.. If I delete the new files and go back into Lightroom nothing has changed.
Am i placing these files in the wrong area?
Many thanks for any replies

I suspect that some R1800 users have perhaps not tackled the issue of dark prints and may not be feel that they have an issue at all. I also believe that this particular issue only involves Intel Mac's which may not apply to some.
Your issue may have something to do with the printer driver as well... I made sure that I went and found the very latest driver that Epson has out (there is a new one specifically for Intel Mac's). I made sure that I deleted the driver that came with the original disk.... I did this via the "printer setup utility"... then downloaded and installed the new driver.
Only then did I go through the procedure for installing the new icc profiles as discussed...
The profiles should then automatically appear in Lightroom and in colosync in the "Finder" screen under:
" Users" > then whatever your computer name is > Library > Colorsync > Profiles
The new profiles should then be seen.
This is certainly the way I did it and perhaps the whole process has to be gone through for an Intel Mac.
Hope this helps... I am nowhere near a computer expert but it worked for me.

  • ICC profiles for Epson R200

    I have the paper and printer profiles for my Epson R200 for PSE 7.  I don't know if I can use these in PSE10.  How do I do that.  Or do I need new ones.

    Form your statement written what I understand is "You are trying to use Your Epson R200 printer with PSE10 and also the same paper and profiiles that you used with PSE7".
    PSE10 would not create any issue in printing in such situation.
    You can easily print with ur old printer using printer profile to print output.
    Cheers,

  • ICC profiles for Photosmart Premium C410a

    I have a Photosmart Premium C410a and previously had a C309 series.  I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit).  I am trying to print from Photoshop Lightroom 3 using the managed by application setting which requires ICC profiles for the printer. When I access the "Choose Profiles" window no ICC profiles appear for the C410, but the profiles I used for the old C309 do appear.
    How do I find the ICC profiles for the C410 and load them onto my computer?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the links ... it is a start in right direction, except they say to selct printer & paper profile ... and that is the issue - there are none.
    The issue for me is that when I select Print within photoshop ... I get the color management options ...
    http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx351/Tafflad/Computer/setingsfortestprint.jpg
    You can see the option on right for "Color Handling"  it is set to "printer manages color"
    Ideally I should be setting this to "Photoshop manages color"  and under "printer Profile"  choose the correct printer/paper combination ...   i.e. something like  HP-C410 glossy  or HP-C410 matte
    There are no ICC color profiles there for HP.
    I have downloaded and installed the full HP driver package for the printer.  (for PC W7)
    Hence my question (and the original posters) do HP have ICC profiles available .... epson produce them for their printers for example.

  • HP c7180 ICC Profiles for printing in Lightroom 2.0

    How do I find ICC profiles for  the various HP photo papers and then import them into Lightroom 2.0.

    OK so I've done some testing now using the Lab 33 x 33 x 33 image.
    Photoshop seems washed out when printing on photo paper pro but is far more accurate than in lightroom.
    I also did an experiment and in Colour matching picked Vendor matching and in the Colour Options printed one with None selected and one with Driver matching selected - the one with Driver matching was much closer to the image on screen.
    I also deiscovered that there is a bug in Lightroom which causes Colour matching options to be grayed out. I guess this is something I should be telling Adobe about.

  • 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.

  • I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

  • 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.

  • Printer Profiles for Epson R260

    I need to download UCC Printer Profiles for my Epson 260.
    But the website doesn't list any.
    It does show profiles for the R2200.
    Where are they?

    Geoff & Jao,
    Evidently Epson does not generate ICC Profiles for the R260, just for the high-end printers like the R2200.
    The Epson R260 driver has selections for all kinds of papers and different levels of preset quality and manual settings.
    I have tested a lot of them.
    Using Lightroom and Printer-managed color, all pictures are dull and lack-luster.
    However, Lightroom has a profile for the R260 series; and with Epson driver set for ICC, pictures are good as PSE5 using ColorMatch RGB and Qimage with Epson drivers. I am using plain Photo Glossy paper and I don't know how the Lightroom profile knows which paper I'm using.
    I searched in my PC for /Library/Colorsync/Profile and didn't find it. Do you know where it is in a PC?
    Jao says to turn off color management in the driver. OFF seems to be bad; choosing ICC seems to be good.

  • 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 profile for windows

    Hi
    I have bought at screen calibrator and have created an icc profile for windows.
    I have Adobe photoshop elements and Lightroom, how do i get the colors to be be same in these 2 programs and even same as other program like windows previewer

    Hello,
    The link should help.
    If you check in your printing preferences and see if under Color Management you have an option of Application Managed Colors.  If so an ICC profile should exist for your printer and you can follow the steps in the link below to set up your driver and Adobe.

  • Where do I find the ICC profile for my new Canon Pro-100 printer?

    I  downloaded ICC profiles for several different papers, but for optimum color management, do I not also need a ICC profile for the printer itself? Very new to this......I have my ColorMunki and I use Photoshop and Lightroom. Trying to get everything coordinated properly...........
    Thanks for the help,
    Laura Mowrey

    If you downloaded ICC profiles for papers they should be for the Pro-100. The paper vendor prints a known pattern of colors using a Pro-100 and then uses a device to analyze the print. The ICC profile contains the correction info that adjusts the printer to make the prints look like the known color pattern.
    The Color Munki will calibrate your monitor to make sure that the colors you see are correct.
    I suggest you calibrate the monitor to,D50 at 80-90 lumens/m^2.

  • Can't see the installed icc profiles for my paper in print module

    I have downloaded and installed the icc profiles for my favourite Canson and Crane Museo papers on my new Macbook Pro but they don't show up in the options box in the LR 4 print module. Is there another step I have missed? Thanks in advance.

    Where did you install the profiles? They should go into
    Library/Colorsync/Profiles in your home folder or at the root level of your
    hard disk. If you put it in that folder in your home folder, they show up
    in user, if you put them in the root Library folder, they show up in

    Where can I find other manufacturers ICC profiles if they are available? OR if there are none profided, why?
    TIA

    Hi asdiaz,
    I understand you have a Photosmart 7520 that you're wanting different ICC profiles for. I will do my best to guide you in this.
    This isn't something that we support, but in doing a bit of research I was able to find a link to Adobe ICC Profile, and this International Color Consortium page that has a few different suggestions.
    Hopefully these pages will get you in the right direction! Have a good one!
