A while ago I bought ImagePrint. It works very well and has a very wide range of profiles 
for many different papers. Chances are very good you'll find your favorite paper profiled.

Now the caution. It comes with a "dongle" which must be plugged into a USB port in order 
for the software to work. If you loose the dongle, it won't work and you can't get another 
one.

Since I was paranoid about loosing the dongle, I send it back for a refund.

I now use QTR. My favorite paper is Epson Velvet Fine Art. QTR has a profile for Piezo 
Museum Bright (really a Bradford paper). It's almost a carbon copy of the Epson paper I use 
so the profile works very well.

For me, the QTR is a God-Send. It's way under-priced for the great job it does!! And 
there's no dongle for me to loose.
