When the targets have been printed, allow them to dry for at least an hour minutes prior to scanning with your spectrophotometer give it 24 hours, if you can wait. Something as simple as the profile name may not immediately seem important, but get a few profiles saved and confusion can quickly set in when switching between different papers. It's best to adopt a standard nomenclature that you use across all of your profiles. Here you can see that we label it as a Breathing Color profile with BC.
Then we tell you which BC media it's for - Lyve. Then the printer model it's for - Epson The MK signifies that matte black was used to print the target. Finally, "Canvas" tells you that it was printed with the Canvas media type setting. You could go into more or less detail in your own naming convention if you wanted, but this is a great starting point. What I do next is print out an evaluation image.
This image should have a wide range of image types to help show how well your printer profile is made. You should find a great image and use that same one for each new media that you profile. This way you can maintain consistancy, and eventually spot irregularities very quickly because you will be so used to how the image should look.
The PSD file even contains some text fields so you can add your media type, date, etc You want to use the same settings media type, print quality, mode, etc Only this time, you will of course associate your new target with the print in the printing program of your choice.

This application not only holds all of your monitor ICC profiles, generic printer ICC profiles, and custom ICC profiles; it controls how those profiles are used and output to the various devices they are for.
While some of your current profiles will be unaffected, you may come across certain profiles you have successfully used in the past to now have a noticeable color shift. This is most common in the white areas of the print. They tend to print as a light gray cast, and can vary depending on the white point in the image file. One solution to this is to have your profile calculated using version 2 ICC specification. This is an older calculation that will not be affected by the ColorSync bug in OS You can use whichever profile you prefer, as long as the embedded profile step 2 above, which assigns an embedded profile matches the printer profile.
This seems counterintuitive, but it works because you are matching the embedded ICC profile of the targets with the printer profile. In other words, there will be no color shift when the targets get printed. Beyond that, the rest of the driver settings should remain the same. It does not need to be embedded in the Photoshop dialog prior to printing.

This section explains how to adjust monitors and printers that are suitable for color matching. Additionally, information is provided on Digital Photo Professional settings that can be used to take advantage of the color matching setting.
Step 1. Setting the color display of the monitor. Step 2. The color display of the monitor and the settings for print results can be adjusted to more accurately match each other. White parts in images may appear reddish or bluish, depending on the monitor.
This is because the setting value of monitor is not appropriate to display the colors of images. When performing color matching, the value must be adjusted to reproduce the colors of images accurately. This value is called color temperature and it indicates light colors in units of temperature called Kelvin K. The default color temperature setting for most monitors is often set at about K; if the value is not changed, it displays overall blue-tinged images.
To reproduce white colors accurately, set the color temperature value to "K" if "K" cannot be set, select "sRGB". For information on how to set the color temperature of the monitor, please refer to the instruction manuals for the monitor. Download a compressed. About Contact Join Participate.
