Re:Epson Exhibition Fiber ICC Profile

2010-08-16 by RParker124

I am making small progress thanks to Bob's last suggestion.  I downloaded 2 ICC profiles from Eric Chan's website for Exhibition Fiber and Hot Press Bright, and tried to follow the directions on the PDF Tutorial for the Quadtone RIP.  I cannot find the download folder "Profiles/InstallScripts" in my Mac (Leopard 10.5) Hard Drive>Applications>QuadToneRIP>Profiles>3800-UC.  There is an install command file in the 3800 folder, but it appears to be specifically for the pre-installed ICC profiles that came with the software. I cannot find a script for installing custom profiles anywhere, and I am not sure I understand the directions on how to use if from my reading several times of the PDF Tutorial. 

 In my Quadtone RIP folder under Applications are the following folders and files:  (Folder)CurveDesign, (file)DiagnosticScript.command, (Folder)Eye-One, (Folder) Profiles, (file)QTR-Create-ICC, (file)QTR-Create-ICC-RGB, (file)QTR-CurveView, (file)QTR-License.rtf, (file)QTR-Linearize-Data, (file)Tutorial.PDF

I am sure this is an easy process, but I cannot figure out the exact places where I need to go, and the exact steps to follow to get these 2 ICC profiles in the system. 

Can someone help with delineating the specific steps I need to follow to be successful?  

Thanks again,

Bob Parker

(As I think about it, why couldn't I use his versus having a custom ICC profile made for the RIP?). If I can use his ICC for the Epson Exhibition Fiber, do you know how I can load it into the Quadtone RIP?  I would like to load some other papers' ICC profiles as well.  That would be great if I can do that.

URL is http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/abwprofiles.html   They are free to download.  I use his profile for the 3880 and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper, it is working very well.  Actually it works so well I had him do a custom color profile for the 3880 and GFS which is a whole lot better than the one supplied by Ilford.  The cost for the custom was $20 which seems reasonable to me.
