ICC profiles for Epson Pro 3880

[wblanchard]

I found some really good ICC profiles for my new Epson Pro 3880.
They are by Eric Chan for the Advanced BW photo driver. I tried it out and was just stunned how much better my tones looked.

He has a neat little site with lots of step by step tutorials and everything.
I thought I would share it.

I also found his site and was very impressed. What I'm really interested in is if a profile has been made (for the 3880) for some of the really impressive HP paper that I'm carrying over from my HP B9180. HP Professional Satin Photo, in particular. I have several boxes of 13x19.

I'm couldn't find a good ICC profile for Epson's new Ultra Premium Luster, so I used what Eric provided. The blacks ended up slightly darker than my screen. i don't mind it, just wondering if its my screen or the profile doing it.

I tried the above with Epson Velvet & the final product was just incredible! I do find that I have to raise the midtones on the image on the screen to get the right output.

...new to all this printing thing...
