Hi Everyone:
No doubt most of you probably already have a test image you use to test new
papers and such, but I thought I'd pass this along anyway for those like me
who are new to digital print-making. It's a big file, so it will be a bit
slow to download.

I managed to get the Epson ICC paper profile (Ultra/Prem/Matte) to work, so
I'll continue testing the other Epson ICC paper profiles--using the image I
just linked above. I mentioned before I couldn't get a decent print using
the paper-specific profiles from Epson and have been using the following
profile: StylusPhotoR2880 EE427_3.1icm with perceptual and Adobe RGB in the
Printer Driver for Epson papers & other kinds as well. As I said, I thought
the prints a virtual match to the monitor, so I've been pleased with the
results. I did a comparison between the paper specific ICC profile & the
Stylus . . . ICM profile on the Ultra/Prem/Matte, and I found the Stylus .
. . ICM profile to be just a tiny, tiny, tiny tad warmer and the piece of
purple felt in the lower left hand corner (of the above test image) came out
a tiny, tiny, tiny tad bluer--to my eye anyway.
I'm thinking of creating an Exel worksheet with paper attributes/settings/et
al that might be eventually posted on a web site for public reference use.
If you'd like to respond back with information you'd like to see on such a
worksheet, let me know. I am very new to digital print making, but I like
printing & working with papers etc, and this exercise will be a great way
for me to become more skilled at digital print-making--you know,
contextualized learning and all ;-). Moreover, a reference tool like this
might help save on ink & paper during the testing & print-making phase.
Cheers, Christine
