She was trying to make profiles using a scanner to read the values and having all sorts of problems. Someone referred her to me for help. She had a 3880 when we started but it suffered a catastrophic failure midway through the profiling process. She replaced it with a P800. We started from the beginning again with the 3880 base profile, made a couple of minor adjustments, and ended up with a good base profile for the P800. I am happy to share it with you. It is for the P800 with the stock Epson inks. You will have to print with it, analyze the results (preferably with a spectro or densitometer), and create your own Gray Curve for your specific paper and chemistry.
