Well, I was taught, trained, had drilled into my brain, if the custom icc printer profile was not good, do not tweak it, but create another custom .icc profile. I don't know where that stands with any one else. I create my own custom .icc profiles for my NEC PA271w, about every three (3) days. And create my own custom .icc profile for my Epson Pro 9900. I also do this service for my clients. Sure, I have looked at some canned profiles. Tried one. In my humble opinion, there is nothing like my own home grown .icc profiles I have complete confidence in. I remember in my early days, (OS 8.6) there was a "what you see is what you get" by some software vender. Don't remember the name. It included a profile editor that was simple to use. Then I get the Datacolor, with Spyder, or whatever the name is/was, the master edition, and it included a complicated profile editor. Never ever did learn to use it. Still have this master suite and Spyder. Threw out the suction cups that came with it. Don't use it. Anyone want it? But here is what really challenged me in those days of OS 8.6. Different software providers' programs never gave the same profile, for the printer, monitor, or scanner. The worst offender in my experience was the Spyder stuff. Being way too naive, I had the illusion all programs would give the exact same results. Wrong! ! ! I currently use i1Profile and i1spectrophotometer. I don't want to get messed up with other software programs. Even as I write this, I have tried i1Profiler with my NEC PA271w, as well as the SpectraView II software. I just don't know if there is a difference in the profiles. However I do keep using the SpectraView II software for the NEC. An NEC technician told me, after I had purchase the SpectraView II software, not to purchase their software if I already have the i1Profiler. So, if someone is unhappy with the canned .icc profile, I would suggest using a custom profiling service. Cheers, Millers' Photography L.L.C. David B. Miller, Pharm.
