Looking For ICC Profile for Printable Poly

I am trying to find any Icc Profile for Primex Digi-Hips which is a printable poly, or a profile for anything similar. I am running a HP Designjet L25500 60. I have contacted the company which is Primex Plastics Corp and they do not have profiles for any products. Also my searches online have not provided any results. The product is labeled as a high impact polystyrene digital grade, manufactured for UV digital equipment and solvent based inking systems.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Designjet forum here.

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
This error happens when:
1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
Thanks!
Stephie

Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this. First download the updated
Distiller ICC profile files at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
This solved the problem for me.
This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys... folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc). Once you add these three files to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color you will be good to go.
It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing. Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

ICC profiles for HP Photosmart 7520 from other manufacturers

Hi
I am looking for ICC profiles from other manufacturers for a HP Photosmart 7520. I have been searching days now and have found nothing for my printer.
Where can I find other manufacturers ICC profiles if they are available? OR if there are none profided, why?
TIA
Alex

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!

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.

Hi,

Icc profiles for aperture book printing...

Do the Aperture Book Printing folks provide icc profiles so I can soft-proof the images beforehand?

Please note that monitors provide fairly accurate color when the images are saved in an sRGB color space, however, presses are not as reliable...
Well, Mike, thanks for sharing the info here.
At one point, in Mark's email to you, as mentioned above in his email from Apple, I have to say I am a little surprised about his statement re: monitors provide fairly accurate... when the images saved in an sRGB colour space...
It is very tricky statement where it depends on how we define the term "fairly accurate" in monitors. What we don't know if Mark meant by when monitor has been "properly" set up as profiled and calibrated with high-grade calibration hardware. Unless IF the monitor has been proper profiled and calibrated, then his statement would be correct. But IF not profiled or calibrated at all, I am afraid that his statement is incorrect.
Now these days with newer monitors and newer Apple laptops with better monitor technology, it is still need to be properly profiled and calibrated. It just depends on individual's preference, desire and the purpose of such project whatever someone is working on. While majority of Aperture users' are probably mostly professional photographers or those who are into photography savvy, then colour-managed workflow is a norm. For me, it IS absolute A MUST colour-managed workflow.
Although, I do a heavy post-production workflow on MacPro where I always have my monitors calibrated. I don't typically calibrate my laptop, though. Because sometimes I forgot to turn off the automatic ambient light in System Preference in Display section. It is a little inconvenience in that case. Unless if I am being away on photographic trips far from Canada abroad, then it is a different story. But not always bring my calibration device with me. Too inconvenience to haul it around at the airports etc. So colour-managed workflow is a must with MacPro in my studio.
However, other individuals have their own preference, comfort zone and the purpose of such project. Perhaps their workflow set up differently than yours or mine, that is ok.
But in that email you received from someone at Apple didn't make it clear about that statement about 'fairly accuracy'.
Then something else is something else actually--when Apple guy said presses are not always.... Again, that is why it is important that you get monitor properly profiled and calibrated. Once it is done properly, then it is all good. But remember, you need to re-calibrate monitor once a week or every two weeks or once month. In order to get pretty close to printed output, always a good idea to soft proof. If needed to make slightly conservative adjustments to your satisfaction or level of expectation, the output would be fairly close to what it is appeared in monitor. When I mean "fairly close" in comparing the output to what you are seeing in monitor with these post-production images used in that output, in fairness, I would estimate fairly close in terms of anywhere in range between 92 to 95 percent - that is very fair conservative perspective on how close in the output vs monitor. It is truly, really, truly rare to get the output 100% as obvious and precise as you are seeing in monitor. If that is the case, and if that is true FOR that person achieved this, this probably means takes that person many years to perfect his/her colour-managed workflow for that matter. Never has been that pretty close, but I'd be shocked if I see mine aced right on spot. I'd be lying to you if I get all output perfect as appeared in my monitors. If I did, that would be incorrect statement.
It seems a lot of factors and things to do and things need to require in a thoroughly colour-managed workflow production, it is how it is done. But this can also means save money, effort and time if done properly right from the beginning.
In fairness, I would really wish that guy from Apple should have said a little more obvious and precise with his definition of fairly accuracy with monitors. It doesn't says what kind of monitors he refers to. Low quality, cheap monitors deliver good results? Lot of factors need to be looked at for consideration for yourself.
Of course, as you can tell that colour management topic is pretty heavy, highly technical and everything in deep thinking with world of colours. It takes years for an individual (both pros and non-pro individuals) finally understand what it is all about. Again, technologies evolve rapid for the better in many cases for new monitors, commercial print equips, advanced ink technology, advanced paper production technology... That goes on effortless endless, actually.
Hope some of thoughtfu perspective and experience be of some interest, and it is obvious that this discussion probably will attract some more excitement discussion, the more the better. So that every other Aperture users who have the similar issues, they'll definitely want to come to here... And learn and share.
I also use Blurb too. They are getting better than it was once a couple years ago when Blurb first started. As they add more variety of book sizes, types of paper stock and things like that. This also give someone some flexibility in choosing workflow production using Blurb software or online bookmaking or using PDF to Book service for those who are advanced users that use InDesign layout design app. In that case of PDF to Book, the advanced users would need to download Blurb's preset plug-in to put in InDesign in order to export the PDF output to meet and integrate into Blurb's Preflight Checklist at the time of upload. I use PDF to Book service with InDesign, etc. It is fairly self explanatory and easy to follow steps. Also slightly off topic, but when making Blurb book, to get most out of their product and service with Blurb, in that case, they came up with brilliant resource called Colour Resource Centre designed for making more beautiful books. In that resource centre, it is easy to read and follow.
I would think this probably shed some insights and understanding the basics of colour management, the whole thing all about this, that and the other all together.
I would also want other high-powered hard-core Aperture users share their experience with Aperture Book printing service. I'd be happy to share my experience about making Aperture Book vs. Blurb Book through PDF to Book service. However, I would think the export to PDF from Aperture probably has it's own different setting or slightly different configuration inside the PDF engine on Mac for Blurb book. There has been some discussion about wanting a Aperture Plug In for Blurb Book. blurb has been quiet on it, I take that they probably will not develop a special plug-in for Aperture Users. Sorry if it is a little off topic. But somehow someone in the discussion mention Blurb. so...
Anyhow, hope that helps.

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 CMYK values

Hello Everyone,
I've tried to find info which ICC profile is used for HSV (or RGB) to CMYK conversion, but still without success. It is stated somewhere? I think it is quite important for specific use.
Btw, it would be nice to have any possibility to choose one of predefined (e.g. Fogra 27, 39) or even upload custom ICC profile from local disk.
Jan

I agree. I've been looking to see what color space these rgb values are in. I'm guessing sRGB, but it would be nice to know.

ICC profile for getting books/posters printer?

Hey all,
Before I start using Aperture for getting books and posters printed, I had a question on ColorSync/ICC profiles. I'm by no means a pro, but know enough to get my color workflow in basic order.
A large poster I ordered through iPhoto came back with massive red shifting and huge loss of detail in the darker photos (it was a collage). Is there an ICC profile available that can be used so that when I soft proof with Aperture, it will give me better feedback on what photos printed via the printing service (Kodak) will look like? I really don't want to go through the hassle of getting more refunds...
TIA!

If you are using an apple cinema display that has been color calibrated I think you will get the desired result. If you are not using an apple display then you will go in circles like it did.
I'd like to qualify this statement. You should have a new professional display and use software calibration like Monaco or Pulse Color Elite from Xrite to bring your display to standardized state.
My older 22" Cinema display (which has been demoted to my business machine) will successfully calibrate thru Pulse Color Elite, but the monitor is dim and yellow compared to a successful calibration on my new 30" & 20" Apple displays or my 20" iMac G5.
As I'm laying out a sub-portfolio book to be printed via Apple, I'm assuming the only differences in color and gamut of the finished books are going to be due only to the differences in the RGB & CMYK worlds because I'm working on a calibrated workstation. I hope I'm right.

ICC Profile for Lenovo EasyCamera

Alright, I've been looking around everywhere on the site with no luck.
I have a Lenovo S10-3. It came with a Lenovo EasyCamera built-in.
This camera's color is slightly off, as are most webcameras, making all images more blue than they should be.
I would really love to have an .icc profile that was made for the Lenovo EasyCamera. If any staff here know of where I could get it, please let me know! It would make this little netbook all that much better.

Things went allright until point no. 9 in Step 2.
When the installation is complete, a message displays on the computer stating that the product was added successfully did not appear. However, the printer 990c appeared in the list of printers.
After connecting the USB cable to the computer, Device driver software was not successfully installed window did not open.
However, I decided to continue with step 3. But Printer properties --> Ports --> Drop down menu did not show USB nor DOT4.

ICC profile for Aperture books?

All-
I've looked around Apple's web site and have not been able to find an ICC profile for soft-proofing a book. Does anyone know of a source for such a thing?
Thanks,
Andreas

Having watched an Apple video detailing the benefits that Aperture offers in terms of on-screen colour proofing I found it strange that there is no profile for Apple's book printing partner in Europe (or the US).
Wouldn't it be useful for Apple to include a profile for the own printing partner 'in the box' so that users can on-screen colour proof their book before sending. After all, this is supposed to be one of Aperture's main features. I can't understand why they don't. At least they could expand on the reasoning behind this.

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.

Embedding ICC profiles for third party printing?

Hi,
This is a question regarding Elelments 11 and embedding ICC profiles. I have succesfully set up a colour balanced system for printing on my own premises. At the time of printing I select the relevant ICC profile for the printer/ink combo I am using. However I need to send files way for larger sizes and want to ensure colour correct prints that match as closely as possible the prints I produce in my own studio.
How do I embed the third parties provided ICC profile in the file before sending to them?
Any help on the correct process would be appreciated,
thanks

How do i find icc profile for HP paper

I have a Cannon MG5400 and am looking to install the correct ICC profile. Looking for help to find the correct profile and install it.

You would normally download icc profiles from the paper manufacturer's website or use the profiles installed by the printer driver (for papers from the same company as made your printer). However, since HP makes printers themselves I would be extremely surprised if they supply profiles for non-HP printers.
