Ken, Well... The "printer profile" or "paper profile" is really a profile for the combination of a particular printer with a particular combination of inks printing on a particular paper. On the Epson R2400 you'll see that some of the paper types have different profiles for use with glossy black and matte black. Makes sense. The profile is supposed to give you a consistent output. That's only possible if you treat the printer, ink, and paper as one unit.
The color management you turn off in the printer driver is just to make PhotoShop handle the color management (which it's probably better at than the driver). BTW, on my Epson 1270, I could not get a good puple. Even with profiles. I never tried making my own profiles, though. Tom On 5/23/06, Ken Durling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It kind of seems like we're using the terms "printer profile" and "paper profile" interchangeably. Are they in fact the same thing? I am in fact getting pretty decent results, although not as consistent as I'd like, by using the paper profiles loaded into PS by my printer's driver. I select this in PS's "Print with preview" section, and then turn off color management for the profiler, letting PS do it. But certain colors, like the purples and deep blues Tom mentioned (like in dark blue flowers) continue to evade me.
