Digital BW, The Print

Where can you get profiles for inks and paper? Specifically, MIS inks 
and Torchon, legion matte,Albrecht Durer 210 and Hahnemuhle 230? Have 
you purchased all of your profiles or is there a place to get usable 
profiles free or @ a nominal cost? Thank you.

Regards

Two that immediately come to mind:

http://www.profilecity.com

http://www.chromatics.com

These two companies create custom profiles based on your 
printer. These are not canned profiles. I would guess that they'd 
run about $125-200 per profile (one inkset with one paper).

Depending on your level of pickiness, I'd say this is money that is 
well-invested. Also depending on how many papers/inksets 
you'd want to profile.

Compared to doing it yourself:
Xrite DTP41: about $2000
ColorVision ProfilerPro: $899

Tim,
while the piezo plug-in comes with in built profiles for several 
papers which are created for their own inks, MIS is providing certain 
workflows for their different ink-sets. ie: John Woolf workflow for 
the Full Specrum inks if you use them without the Piezo driver (what 
works fine) - or the Paul Roark curves for the Variable Mix inkset.
Most of these curves are created to match a standard paper (EPSON 
Archival Matte) and are more or les printer-specific , so for the 
papers you mentioned you should do some (minor) curve adjustments in 
PS. I suppose, that one or two profiles will do it for the mentioned 
papers, which are Hahnemuhles mostly - they have the same coating, so 
they should print very similar.
BTW MIS has a workflow page (www.inksupply.com)where you can read 
more about profiles. They are for free.
Bernd.

Hello everyone,

Does Epson provide paper profiles for the Epson 10,000 using the
archival ink set?  If not, what is the best source to get some made.

I appreciate your assistance.

Hi guys, I figure that this is the place for an anawer so here goes.
Can anybody tell me where to put a profile after you download it on
the desktop on a PC. Thanks and this group is fantastic.  Steve

If it's ICC profiles and a Windows XP PC, put in 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color

For QTR's profiles(.qidf), at C:\Program Files\QuadToneRIP\Profiles

Hope this help.
