Digital BW, The Print

anyone know where I can download an icc profile for epson ultrasmoth 
paper and the 2200 and oem ink

I use the same printer for col and b&w

thanks
Frank

I have the same question, but for Epson Premium Semimatte paper. It and
Ultrasmooth are not available in rolls or sheets for 13x19, to my knowledge,
but Atlex will cut down larger rolls for a pretty reasonable price. They
have two websites which offer the same products, but the websites are
formatted differently.

Assuming I can find the profiles, what paper setting is the best to use for
each paper?

That's a tough one. My guess is since Ultrasmooth is a very thick paper Epson doesn't 
recomend or make small sizes for the desktop printers.

Ultrasmooth is a beautiful paper...it might become my standard when I switch out photo 
black from my 4800.

Inkjetart has an amazing amount of free paper profies:

Wonder if inkjetart could recomend an equivalent?

Actually, UltraSmooth is the "equivalent" of the paper I actually 
want to use, but for which there is also no profile - Premier Fine 
Art Hot Press 270gsm. That's why I'm looking for the UltraSmooth 
profile. Apparently, but denied by Premier, they may actually sell 
this hot press to Epson as Ultrasmooth. There is a profile for the 
wide format 76/9600 printers - any idea if they'd work with the 2200?

I'd think the wide format profiles would be unusable.

I did some investigating...I first went to this page: 

http://www.inkjetart.com/premier/fine_art.html It mentions: "InkjetART has chosen to 
carry a slightly modified version of the 205g. PremierArt paper, under the Museum Digital 
Art" 

The Museum Paper has 2200 profiles. That might be a better start for you.

Choose your Printer first, then Paper on this page for your profile:

http://www.inkjetart.com/profiles/paper.html

Also if you could find a profile for "PremierArt Matte Scrapbook Paper" that profile would 
be in the ball park too.

In the long run it would pay just to have a custom profile made as this paper is expensive!
