Hi, I bought a sampler package of Hahnemuhle paper yesterday, and am, of
course, confused about how to set up colour profiles for it.
I downloaded the .icc files from their website and installed them into
the correct Windows directory (windoes/system32/Drivers/Colour) (or
whatever).
So, Photoshop seems to have access to the paper profiles, which is nice,
but when I go to set up the paper on the Epson, I don't have the new
papers available in the printer drop down.
Epson's documentation is less than helpful, and so I am turining to the
font of knowledge that is the PDML.
First thing you should know is that though Hahnemuehl's papers are
wonderful their profiles for those papers suck.
That said, you aren't supposed to see the paper ICC profiles in the
printer driver dialog: Those ("plain paper", "premium luster", "premium
semigloss", etc.) are just general settings for the amount of ink
delivered and other factors mainly relating to the absorbency and
texture of the paper. If Hahnemuehl doesn't specify which one to use
just pick one that seems close to you.
Then (still in the printer driver dialog) click "ICM" under Color
Management and then select "No color adjustment".
When you print, you select the paper ICC profile in the *Photoshop*
print dialog box under "Printer Profile". If your ICC profiles don't
show up there I don't know what's wrong...
I expect that you already know parts of the above. But I'm not sure
which parts so I explained the whole thing :)
