PrecisionColors ICC Profiles

[graycbr]

hi guys
Just ordered a full colour kit from these PrecisionColors for my pro9500 .
Is there any ICC profiles for this ink ?

I've found that they were not required. It seems to be that good of a match to OEM.

Good to know. I have ordered some PrecisionColors and I will be using Canon own ICC profiles with Canon OEM glossy Photo Paper.

Actually I now provide ICC profiles for the fastidious ones. So yes, some are included...especially for Red River Papers. More will be added as time goes along.

Contrary to this, the profiles were no good for me. It might just be me, but I'm confused as some claim the profiles were good for them.

Anyhow, I created my own profiles. Day and night difference.

So precision colors are a pretty spot on match to the OEM carts?

Sometimes consumer printers can veer off quite a bit and if you experience this then you need a custom profile. An example is above, this one is veered off quite a bit and somebody at the factory or tech did not adjust the printer well.
Also consider that papers can vary quite a bit especially with the older Kirkland Professional Glossy from years ago. For me it varied by the store and thus probably batch.
So sometimes custom profiles specific to your printer is necessary if you really have to get it spot on.
