Re: Usability of 4800 or 2400 profiles for the 3800

2007-02-27 by zonepeter

Bert,
I have not tried this, so I can't vouch for this, but I saved it from 
a previous post on this board.  Hope it helps:

Either there are very few 3800 out there or no one uses B&W any 
more...
Well, since there seems to be no curves or profiles for the new 3800, 
I modified
the install.
4800 command that installs the UC profiles for the 4800. Easy change, 
just copy
the
command and rename it to xxxx3800 instead of xxxx4800, run it and 
voila! The
profiles
are there.
I've tested Hahnemuhle and Epson papers, and it works like a true 
charm!. The
output
stands a test against both an R800 and R1800 with Piezo NK7 inks!!! 
The added
bonus are
the sepia/warm/cool settings that indeed work. Of course, when you 
print 17x22,
the
printer reallly compares against chemical lambda prints from BWC!!! 
Actually
they kind of
hold more detail.
The feature to mix profiles/curves for different aspect is indeed 
cool.
I am looking forward to professionally produced curves/profiles, but 
definitely
the 3800 is
the way to go. It outperforms the 4800/9800 by a comfortable margin,
quality-wise.
