Installing Epson 2400 profiles on Tiger

Hi all,
i have a really stupid problem. Using aperture, i am getting the dreaded dark photos. I want to delete the existing profiles out of aperture and get a set of new ones from Epson's site. However, when i actually unzip the downloaded profiles, the installer does nothing! No folder with profiles at the location i specify. Am i doing something wrong?
BTW, also where in the Mac are the default epson profiles so i can go and delete them from there before installing the new ones?
thanks,
newbie

I got that PIM thing with my Epson printer.
As always, I tried first without it and found there was no need for it. The drivers are enough.
As a rule most stuff that comes with hardware, at least printers and cameras, is superfluous especially if you have Photoshop.

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.

Unable to install Epson ICC printer profiles in Lion (access privileges message)

I upgraded to Lion and cannot install Epson ICC printer profiles. When I try to install, the installation is halted with the message that I do not have enough access privileges for this installation. Yes, I am the admin (I checked, as I know this is a known issue). I have the current updates to the O/S and the Epson driver. Specifically, these are printer paper profiles for an Espon Stylus Photo R2800 printer.

The ownership of the /Library/ColorSync directory and its contents changed in Lion. You acutally do not have enough priviliges as admin to write to that directory anymore. EPSON's installer does not have the ability to ask you for your password to escalate the admin privileges to root. You should report this to EPSON and insist that they update their installer.
There is a way to get the files installed, but it is pretty involved. I will give you the general idea but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is a risk you could break your system and make it unusable.
With those admonitions in mind, here's the general outline.
1. Go to /Library/ColorSync. Highlight the folder and do a Get Info on it.
2. Under the Sharing & Permissions portion, give "everyone" the ability to Read & Write. Then choose to have this applied to all enclosed items.
3. Run the EPSON installer(s). The profiles will now install.
4. Change the ownership and permissions for all the installed items useing the Terminal--
For the EPSON folder the command is 'sudo chown -R root:wheel path_to_EPSON_folder'
For each and every item in the EPSON folder, the command is 'sudo chmod 644 path_to_item'
5. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permssions.

Kodak Q-60 IT8 to profile the Epson 2400 scanner

I am trying to create an ICC profile for my Epson 2400 scanner with the Kodak Q-60 IT8 Target Reflective. My Adorama receipt has the numbers 1907914 so I am assuming that is the file I need to go with the scan I need to do. The 5x7 card is label Q-60 Color Input Target and has IT8.7/2-1993 200:01 at the bottom. When I download the data files from the ftp (ftp://ftp.kodak.com/GASTDS/Q60DATA) site, the IT8App is not able to launch because it needs the Classic Mac Mode to read files.
This is my first time doing all this. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Hello Carlos
Is your Epson Driver up to date?
http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ViewArticle.aspx?lng=en-GB&kbid=318461&data=+ab 4PwTTw7eujySdvU002F04GiMun4oEc0ki
I haven't needed to re-calibrate anything with my Epson all-in-one, both scans & prints match the display perfectly.
It just works!

Epson 2400 - Can't print tabloid

Having a problem in our studio right now ...
Recently installed Leopard on one of the G5's. Went to print this morning on our Epson 2400 and we cannot print tabloid - the page contents will clip at letter size. Same problem no matter what application we use ... InDesign, Acrobat, etc ...
We are using the latest driver from Epson.
Is there something we're missing here or is this a bug? TIA.

Try this!
Q: Since I upgraded to Macintosh OS X 10.5 Leopard, some printer driver options are missing. What should I do?
A: Make sure you’re not using the Macintosh OS X 10.5 Gutenprint driver. Follow these steps to check if you’re using the Gutenprint driver and change it if necessary:
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
If necessary, click once on your printer’s name in the Printer list. (You don’t need to do this if only one printer driver is installed).
If you see Gutenprint next to your printer name, go to step 5 to change the driver. (The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 appears in the example below, but you’ll see your printer or all-in-one name instead).
If you see only your printer’s name, you’re using the correct driver, and you can skip the remaining steps.
Turn off the printer.
Click the button to remove the printer from the Printers list, then click OK.
Go to the Macintosh Leopard Support page and select your printer or all-in-one from the appropriate list.
After you select your printer or all-in-one, the web page will either inform you that the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5 or give you a description and download option for an Epson driver for your printer.
If the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5, go to the next step. Otherwise, download and install the Epson driver for Mac 10.5 before continuing with step 8.
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences. If necessary, click Print & Fax.
Turn on the printer. Your computer should add the printer automatically.
If your computer does not add the printer or if it adds the Gutenprint driver again, contact Apple for assistance. You may need to reinstall the Epson drivers provided with Macintosh OS X 10.5.
Note: To check ink levels, click the Utility button, then click EPSON StatusMonitor. The Supply Levels button will not show remaining ink levels for your Epson printer.

How/where do I install ICC paper profiles on a Mac?

Aperture 2.1 vs Epson 2400

Hi,
I,ve succefully installed the upgrade from Aperture 1.5.
All is ok about libraries and RAW management, but .... it's impossible to print !
I've a Epson 2400 as printer and it's all ok with all others software on my Mac (Photoshop Elements 6, Nikon Capture NX 1.3, ... )
When I try to print a image, Aperture opens correctly the print-window, were I can seen the printer, but it's impossible to use the "print settings" and the "print" commands.
Maybe is it necessary to set something?
Thank you

What OS version?
There was an issue with a recent security update which affected printing in Aperture. Though, I don't know if it only affected Aperture 2, or would have affected 1.5 as well.
Try installing all Software Updates from Apple, if you're on Leopard.

Snow Leopard + Epson 3800 = Profiles missing from InDesign

My 'Grafic Artist' wife just got a new PowerMac and installed InDesign as part of the CS4 Creative Suite. When printing from Photoshop (or Illustrator) she is offered the option in the print dialogue to print with profile, and when she checks the pull-down list her various Epson 3800 printer (paper) profiles are listed. But in InDesign they're missing..
She has no clue where the Epson 3800 profiles are hiding, as they do not seem to be in any of the numerous colorsync profile folders that Apple's OSX system uses (I'm a PC user...).
Any Mac folks here who have seen this and know how to fix it?
Thanks :-)
Russell

The Epson profile are in the printer driver package.
But having said that with 10.6 IDCS3 and CS4 only see profiles that are in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles folder. What ever you do do not copy profiles into that folder, make an alias of the folder that they are residing in and place that (the alias) in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles folder.

How to Install (copy) ICC Profiles

I have two computers running fully updated versions of Mountain Lion. One has all the desired ICC profiles installed in Library>Printers>Epson>InkjetPrinter and in Photoshop the profiles show up just fine and I can make my selections.
On my other computer, the profiles had been there but disappeared in one upgrade or another. I tried having them installed automatically by deleting and reinstalling the printer drivers via the Print & Scan System Preferences. The driver gets re-installed but no profiles. I tried copying the profiles from the one computer to the exact location on the second computer and still no luck. Profiles of two of my other printers are all present, but not the one I'm trying to get added.
I have restarted many times along the way and even tried replacing the whole Epson folder with no change.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can copy those profiles to where they'll work?
FWIW, these profiles are for an older Epson 2200 which is still supported according to Apple's list. It works fine and does print perfect color through the computer that shows the profiles. Profiles for my Epson 7880 and Canon MX870 show on both computers.

Here is the location where the Epson v2.12 Printer Drivers for OS X (Oct. 4) will install the Stylus Pro 2200 .icc profiles. Everything from Printers inward is owned by root and group admin. The individual .icc files are read/write for root, and read only for everyone else.
I used CharlesSoft dot com Pacifist to discover this information. Downloaded the above Epson Driver dmg from Apple/support/downloads. Then opened it with Pacifist. Looked in Contents of EPSONPrinterDrivers.pkg. It is possible to drag the SP2200_A.profile and SP2200_W.profile bundles from Pacifist into the /Library directory hierarchy. You may have to create /InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles folders manually and permit them root:admin first.
Not for the faint of heart. If I was invested in Epson printers as you are, I would simply install the whole v2.12 installation package above. That should build the directory hierarchy for you. (fingers crossed).
/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles/SP2200_A.profiles
     Contents
          Resources

CS5 print dialog missing Epson 7800 profiles

Is there a simple way to get my Epson printer profiles to load onto CS5. I'm normally quite good at solving these things by myself, but this case has me well stumped. Help anyone?

Again: in CS5, the profiles that the driver says belong to the selected printer will show up at the top of the menu. Any custom profiles you have built for that printer will also be in the menu, in the normal alphabetical list.
If there are no profiles at the top, that is because the driver hasn't identified any profiles as belonging to the chosen printer.
If there are no additional profiles listed, that is because there is a problem with how you installed them on the system.
We haven't seen any problems with this yet.

How do I install custom printer profiles in Mac os mountain lion. I can't find the icc profiles directory (if that's what it is).

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. You'll need to do it again after each system update that's applied.

AnyConnect 3.1.01065 error - Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established.

I've got a user running:
AnyConnect 3.1.01065
on
Windows 7 64bit.
Several weeks ago she started encountering the following error:
-after logging into Windows and launching the AnyConnect client, she enters her username and password and successfully authenticates.
-the connection is not established and she's presented with the following message: "Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established."
After doing some troubleshooting, inlcuding uninstalling/reinstalling the anyconnect client, it seems the culprit is the following file:
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile\<filename>.xml. When the problem occurs (which is not regularly, sometimes it occurs daily, sometimes just once a week) examining that file indicates it has no security or permissions set. Quitting the AnyConnect software, modifying the file so that the user has full control of it, then relaunching AnyConnect fixes the problem (until it happens again). Uninstalling, and making sure to move C:\ProgramData\Cisco to the trash, then reinstalling did not seem to help.
The closest match in these forums is the following thread, https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3760446 - though no clear resolution was given.
Has anyone else encountered this, and been able to fix it?
Thanks much.

Just FYI, it seems at least in this case, purging all the previous system restore points seems to have resolved this issue...

Install additional ICC Profiles

I cannot find how to install ICC profiles other than the provided defaults of ProPhoto, Adobe RGB and Adobe sRGB. Can someone please tell me how to install additional ICC profiles.
Thank you,
Jim Palik

The Camera Calibration profiles (Adobe Standard, Camera Neutral, etc) are camera profiles developed by Adobe through their internal camera-calibration process for each new camera. You can make your own Camera Calibration profiles with the DNG Profile Editor and a X-Rite Color Checker standard color target.
The ICC profiles installed on your system are output profiles developed by mostly others that are not related to your camera. The internal profile LR uses for processing is a variant of the large ProPhotoRGB profile with a different gamma. LR is not like Photoshop where you can change the work space profile if that’s what you mean.
