    Ultra K / Ultra black pigment ink from Precision Colors

    Printer profiles for Canon IP3500 with UW8 ink

    Hi Does anyone have a ICC profile for a canon ip3500 with hobbicolors UW8 ink? I've read on this site that using a properly calibrated profile can give you wider gamut prints, and i was hoping someone would already have one for my printer. Thanks in advance
