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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Printer profile for non canon paper

    Is there a list of profiles for Epson, Kodak, OfficeMax, etc photo papers?

    You would get custom profiles from the paper manufacturer website, or, if they don't have custom profiles the recommended Canon profiles to use (I am assuming you are using a Canon printer.)

  • 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.

  • Kodak Professional paper color profiles for Epson Stylus Photo R2880

    Is there a color profile for the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 for Kodak Professional paper (lustre)?

    A member of the Brand Management Group responsed. There is no color profile for my printer at this time. However, I was given a profile to try and it worked very well.
    Thank you Brand Management Group.

  • Print settings for Epson 4880 Stylus Pro - confusing

    Am running LR 1.3 on a PC, Dual-Core, etc.etc. Last week I installed 1.3 and my new Epson 4880 Stylus Pro. Previously, with 1.2 I had been printing with an Epson Stylus 2200 and had no problems.
    The 4880 driver, which is the latest and only driver at this point, brings up print options that I find confusing. It may be just a matter of terminology, but when I use the settthe ings that I think are identical to Photoshop CS3 handling of printing, the image is way too dark. P'shop CS3 prints beautifully with the 4880, exactly what I see on my calibrated monitor.
    I want to let the Adobe engine handle the printing in LR, yet when I set the 4880 print setting to "No Color Adjustment" and show the proper 4880 profile in the LR settings, the resulting print is too dark. When I set it to "ICM Advanced" and enter the monitor profile, the printer profile, and the Rendering Intent, everything prints beautifully. I thought these settings, the "ICM Advanced", handed everything off to the printer, which I don't want. Am I just confused about which settings lets the Adobe engine do things? I've read Evening's LR book and anything else I can find about the Print Module, but the 4880 driver is different enough from the 2200 to create confusion. Also, the PC and Mac drivers have some different options.
    I think the 4880 driver is very similar to the 4800, so if any user can help, I'd appreciate your advice.

    Because when you start a new thread someone inevitibly gets on you for not searching for an existing thread.
    I have an HP 2509m monitor.  There is no luminance setting but according to specs it's 300 nits.  Brightness is set to 90.  I can't find anywhere that will give me the cd/m2.  I really don't think it's the monitor since my Epson R1900 does not have the same issue.  I played with the settings some more and it seems color density is the only thing that make a noticable difference.  I turned off color controls on the printer and used CS4 for color management.  Set the ICM to the right printer and paper.  That DID make a difference but not much - still very dark printout.  And I'm not talking a little darker than what's on the screen - I'm talking black where it shoud be gray.
    Here's the picture I'm having trouble with.  This is reduced in quality so I could post it, but you can still see what I'm talking about.  Note the building on the very bottom.  To the right of that are some hills that are dark green and you can make out some of the detail of a road with parked cars along it.  They're dark, but you can make them out.  In the printout, pretty much everything except the building is black.

    Can you see the green hills on your monitor?
    I thought it might be the paper so I tried it with glossy instead of semigloss.  Same result.

  • What Print Resolution for Epson R800?

    I wonder what the value for "Print Resolution" in the Printer module should be to print with an Epson R800 on glossy or luster paper at the highest quality settings (Photo RPM).
    I would rather not have LR do any re-sampling... but given it asks for a resolution, I am unsure what is the best value to provide.

    Antonio,
    LR is limited to 480 dpi, not printer ppi:
    "This number of ink drops a printer can put on paper is called the printer resolution dpi. So if a printer has a resolution of 1200 dpi but requires 16 drops of ink to display a color, the actual resolution is much lower. Since ink drops are used in both directions (length and width: 16 drops made up of 4 rows of 4 drops), you could say that the effective resolution would be 1200 divided by 4 (or 300) dpi. Practically this isn't entirely true since modern inkjet printer can spray tiny ink drops that overlap each other. Roughly you can say that the higher the printer dpi, the higher the print quality, but it also depends on how the printer forms the dots on paper."

  • Printer profiles for Canon i950

    Hi,
    I am using Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.3, CS3, with a Canoni950 printer. In attempting to print CD labels using Avery Click N Build 3D software, I have also historically been unable to find the printer profile that is compatible with my set up. Even after serious color correction episodes I can never get a print that represents the truer colors on the monitor, especially the Reds. Can someone please help me with the profiles? Also, am I supposed to check the Allow Photoshop to determine colors or the printer? Thank you.

    Allan,
    First questions...is your monitor hardware calibrated? How is the quality of other printing (from Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.)?
    I'm thinking that if this is a problem specific to printing from the Avery software, you should speak with Avery and ask how you should set up your files for printing through their software.

  • Printer profile for Canon inkjet

    I am having a bit of trouble getting my printer to render colours satisfactorily.
    My printer is a Canon Pixma iP 3600 but I am not sure which settings give optimum results from Illustrator RGB files.
    1) Should I specify a colour profile for Illustrator or is Emulate Adobe Illustrator o.k.?
    2) Is there anything else I should do if I use Indesign for output?
    3) When I go to print, Color Management in the Print dialogue gives me various Printer Profile options, including:
    Does anyone know which of these Canon  iP3600 series profiles works (or is supposed to work) best? (I have had dismal results using Adobe RGB and can find nothing about profiles in the printer handbook. For example, I don’t know the difference between MP2, PR1, PR2 etc.)
    As for Rendering Intent, it is important in this case that colours reproduce as accurately as the printer will allow. My instinct tells me to use Absolute Colorimetric because I have adjusted the colours in my files very carefully.

    Steve,
    Have you tried a custom RGB test sheet (maybe with notes on settings written into it for each combination) and a waste of raw materials?

  • Removing Printer Profiles for use in PS CS3

    I'm setting up my work flow using PS to manage printing. I have lots of printer profiles accumulated over the years and would like to weed them out. How can I do that? Where are they located in the files? I'm using OS 10.5.2.
    Thanks.

    They're generally located in your Library>ColorSync>Profiles folder, but some are also in the same folder under your User name. Because I make custom profiles for both myself and others, not only inkjets but at least twenty different printing houses and a couple of photo labs here in lo-cal, I have hundreds. What I do is make a new folder called Profiles Disabled and move all the unwanted profiles to that folder. I'm not getting rid of them permanently but getting them out of sight as far as Ps is concerned.

  • Installing most recent print driver for Epson Pro 3800

    I like to make sure that I use the most recent print driver for my Epson Pro 3800.
    So I downloaded the driver "epson 328233 eu.dmg" and it shows up in "Finder downloads"
    * I assume that this driver is the most recent one?
    I have no idea how to continue to replace the existing driver and how to install the latest driver?
    * Do I have to remove the present driver? If so: how do I find the old driver and how do I remove this driver?
    * Thereafter in what way do I install the new driver?
    I am far from a software specialist and I recently switched from PC to iMac which is still troubling me!
    Thank you for helping me!
    Harry

    Dear Sig,
    Thank you for your answer which solved my problem.
    I had the imprerssion that in Mac some downloads are installed automatically and some are not?
    But this might be a wrong observation and is installing always necessary?

  • How to embed printer profile for professional lab

    I am a professional photographer and I send my jpegs out to a lab (BayPhoto) to be printed. The lab has developed a printer profile that should be used when preparing the jpegs they print so they will look the same on my monitor as the resulting prints.
    How do I embed the lab printer profile in my jpegs when exporting them from Lightroom 2.4?
    Thanks,
    Russ

    It's relatively simple.
    1. Choose Export from File menu
    2. Configure the Export window settings for JPEG at appropriate size
    3. Click on drop-down menu for Color Space
    4. Choose Other from list. Another window opens
    5. Click on Include Display Profiles. This ensures that all profiles are visible.
    6. Place checkmark against the profiles you want available in Export then click OK
    7. The profiles should now appear on the list
    Lightroom will convert the image from ProPhoto (internal colour space) to your profile and embed it in the exported file.
    You can also Print to JPEG File in Print module

  • Can't install printer driver for Epson Workforce 845 on Lion

    I can't seem install the printer driver for the Epson Workforce 845 on my MacBookPro running OS 7.2.
    I installed the software from Epson but the printer installer can't find it.

    I just finished installing an Epson Workforce 545 on Lion.  This info is valid as of early March 2012. The trick seems to be this: DON'T install using the CD that comes with the printer.  DON'T download the driver from Epson.
    First do an Apple Software Update to make sure the machine is up-to-date.  Then simply open the Printer & Scan preferences and add the Epson printer.  It will download the driver directly from Apple and you will be good to go.  If you do install the bad drivers from Epson, you have to remove the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and also anything EPSON in the Cache folder, then start over.
