Re: Converting curves to ICC using DoctorPro?

2003-12-20 by Tony Caltabiano

In my deep dark past at one time I had an epson 9000 loaded with
Indelible inks.  I 
did not like the way the colors were printing on ESFA with the paper
setting set to 
that paper type in the epson driver.  I made curves for the yellow
ink, and used doctor 
pro to modify the actual paper setting in the epson driver - so
whenever I went to the 
epson driver and chose that paper type, it would print correctly. 
The epson driver 
settings are great do nothing profiles!

I wrote about it in one of the forums, I think it was the
archivalcolor forum or the 
epsonwideformat forum, check the archives. 

good luck,
Tony
