I am trying this paper and find that the profile from Ilford makes prints that are too dark as compared to prints on Epson semi-matte or Epson lustre. Do I need to change the profile? ( Printing on a 4000 with WinXP. Bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Bob, I'm using the GFS on both an Epson 3800 and a Canon iPF5000. You might want to try a different rendering intent and see if that helps. I'm quite pleased so far with this paper. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Robert Paup" <bobphoto@...> wrote: > > > I am trying this paper and find that the profile from Ilford makes prints that are too dark as compared to prints on Epson semi-matte or Epson lustre.

I tried both perceptual and relative colorimetric. The perceptual was lighter but the blacks encompased more of the gray levels than when I used luster or semi-matte. Bob

I know this doesn't help you directly, but I've had no problem with print tone after creating my own profile with PrintFIX Pro Not sure why the Ilford-supplied profile doesn't work well. Dana
