Couple points now that we're back to Epson Canned profiles.
First, if you can build you own custom profiles, you have good equipment and
know how, you should absolutely do so!
Next, not everyone may know that there are two sets/groups of printer profiles
installed or available from Epson and one group is much better than the other!
One group is made in the US, the other in Japan. It's pretty easy to figure out
what's what too (examine the tags). The point is, not all ICC profiles, even
from the same manufacture of printers are created equally:
Not all ICC profiles are created equally
In this 23 minute video, I'll cover:
The basic anatomy of ICC Profiles
Why there are differences in profile quality and color rendering
How to evaluate an ICC output profile
Examples of good and not so good canned profiles and custom profiles on actual
printed output.
