Hi Graeme, Not many printers in the US make custom profiles these days. Most just calibrate to G7 and use the standard profiles provided by Idealliance, either GRACoL2006_Coated1v2 or GRACoL2013_CRPC6. Those printers I know who do make custom profiles happily give them to bonafide customers without charge. It’s a cheap way to make sure customer-supplied files are optimized for their own presses. Hope this helps, Don ************************** Don Hutcheson President HutchColor, LLC 908-500-0341 don@hutchcolor.com **************************

This may be a bit of long shot, but I am interested in getting a ballpark number on ICC profile licensing cost that many commercial color profiling vendors charge for distributing profiles made with their tools.
i.e. say you are a printer manufacturer and want to distribute profiles to your users, what sort of costs are you likely to be up for ?

Thanks for any hints or pointers,
Graeme Gill.
