Question for Paul R. Regarding his Custom ACV Files

2010-02-10 by robtmckay@aol.com

I've recently created my first custom ICC profile using Paul Roark's  
detailed instructions and Roy Harrington's Create ICC program. I am using an  
Epson 1400 loaded with the Eboni 6 inkset, and the profile I created is for  
printing on Premier Art b/w paper.
 
Before making the ICC, I downloaded Paul's ZIP file of Eboni 6 profiles.  
When I created my custom profile, I used his ACV file earmarked for Premier 
Art  B/W and the 1400. Then I printed out my own 21 step test strip and took 
readings  using my Color Vision Print Fix Pro Spectro. The ICC I made seems 
to be working  fine.
 
So here is my question:
 
I would like to make custom profiles for other papers such as Moab Entrada  
and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. Will I be able to make good custom profiles if I  
use Paul's Premier Art b/w ACV curve file for these as well, or does  one 
need a custom made ACV file for each new paper one makes a profile  for?
 
Right now I am limiting myself to exclusive use of my 1400 and the EB6  
inkset.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Rob
