Hello, I've recently acquired an Epson P400, I am very satisfied with its print quality but have noticed black and dark tones seem a tad darker than they should. In order to fix that issue and to also be able to use non-epson papers, I am looking to getting custom ICC profiles done for 4 papers. I've used profiling services before and have been completely satisfied with them, they use the X-Rite i1publish system which I assume uses the i1pro2 and i1profiler, and utilize over 1700 color patches to create an ICC profile. The i1studio on the other hand can calibrate monitors and also create ICC profiles utilizing around 100-150 color patches to make said profiles.
At the moment the i1Studio is looking very intriguing to me as it would allow me to create printer profiles and calibrate my display, something that I would like to do.
The cost to create 4 profiles using the profiling service is $100 ($25 each), the cost to rent an i1studio is $75 for one week. A couple of questions
-What should I do? Use the profiling service or rent out the i1studio?
-One can assume that the quality of the ICC profiles made by the i1pro2 is superior to the i1studio. How superior is the quality of the profiles made by the i1pro2 and is there a noticeable difference in quality that one should go with profiles made by the i1pro2 rather than the i1studio?
Thanks!
