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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Qu (1) If say I were to use a matt finish paper, what from the above list should I use?
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.

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.

Installing new icc profiles on an Imac using CS6

Can someone help, please, I am using CS6 on an Imac (new to mac) and I need to install some more icc profiles. I have tried unhiding the library/col sync/profiles folder and have installed them but cs6 print setup is still not showing them. I have also tried to drag them in to /library/Application Support/Adobe/ Colour/Profiles/recommended as well but still not showing up. Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

I should have said I am using Epson 3800 printer using mac OS X10.9.5 operating system.

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.

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
/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles/SP2200_W.profiles

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
"Computer" in Colorsync utility

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.

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.
