How would you profile the Epson Picture Mate Printer? I ask because
you can only print a sheet that is 4x6 in size, that would mean a very
small sheet to read targets with the spectro. (Do you make a mini
Spectro,LOL)
So is there a way to make a profile with PFP?
The PictureMate driver has no setting to turn off color adjustment, so you have to profile on top of the default Epson settings. Take either the 150 or the 225 patch target from the Targets folder. Open in Photoshop, without applying a profile. Cut into quarters between rows and columns. Print with Preview choosing No color management/same as source depending on version of Photoshop. Tape the four 4x6 prints together from the back in the correct orientation. Read target, build profile, apply to images in Print with Preview dialog in Photoshop, or equivalent. This allows you to profile other papers to use up that left over ink, too, as well as to use MediaStreet and other third party PictureMate kits.
