Hello Chris,
Hahnemuehle ICC profiles are intended for use with Photoshop and Epson
driver only (user guide on install is available on the web site - this
workflow give you very pleasant results, i have chance to try some H.
papers; beware to use right kind of Epson black ink - see info on site).
So you can not use these profiles with EFI.
What version of EFI RIP you mean? You can make your own profiles, with
all good packages:) or with Best/Efi Premium option. BUT - output
profiles must be PATCHED with ProfileKeeper, to use it in EFI (see EFI
manual).
But note - H. papers are great, but expensive too, and profiling will
cost some money :)
Hope this helps

Perhaps someone here can shed some light on this. To date we've primarily
used Epson Proofing Paper semi-matte to pre-proof and check the quality of
digital images submitted for our calendars. We're printing from Macs across
the company network to the EFI RIP, which is on a Win2000 box connected to
our Epson 7600. For some presentations we'd like to try out some Hahnemuhle
paper, and while its simple enough to download the paper profile from their
site, and to load it on the Macs so that Photoshop sees it, I'm not clear on
how to get it into my workflow. If we simply choose the profile
(PhotoRag_Ultrachrome_76/9600) as the Print Space in PS, what settings
change in the RIP?
The RIP has its Color Setup area that lets the user define the RGB Source
Profile, which presumably stays EFIRGB (I was told this is EFI's
approximation of Adobe RGB, which is our usual work space). The paper choice
is usually selected in the Output Profile section, but even after I've
imported the profile, it doesn't show up in the choices... only EFI's Epson
papers do. It DOES show up in the RGB Source Profile drop down list, though
this doesn't seem logical, since it ISN'T the source profile.
I went through the normal ICC profile import feature that EFI gives you in
their Profile Manager. When you browse to, and then highlight the ICC
profile, it shows you where you can import it to... and it only gives you
the option of importing it to Source Profiles, not Output Profiles. You
have to pick one of the Output Profiles.
Maybe the cold medicine I took this morning is fogging my brain, or maybe
I'm just missing something.
