I offer a custom ICC profiling service for printers that accept RGB inputs. Supported printers include the popular dye and pigment inkjet printers made by Epson, Canon, and HP, as well as many other printers.

Custom profiles provide several benefits, including accurate color reproduction, smooth tonal transitions, neutral grays, and better shadow and highlight details. They are optimized for your specific printer, ink, and paper combination and will help you get the most out of your printer.

I use an X-Rite Eye-One Pro (UV-filtered) spectrophotometer and Eye-One iO scanning table to measure profile targets. I perform multiple measurements, average the data, and analyze the results to check for errors. I use a combination of X-Rite software and my own spectral processing routines to build the final RGB profiles.

Getting a custom profile is easy. First, you print out a profile target (see the instructions below) on your desired paper and ship it to me. Once I receive your profile target, I measure it, build the profile, and email it to you.

The price for one RGB custom profile is $20 (USD). Payment must be made electronically via PayPal (madmanchan2000@yahoo.com). If you would like to order a RGB custom profile, please follow the instructions below:

Important: Please note that I have recently changed/updated the profile target printing instructions. This is to address some ongoing issues when printing profile targets from Photoshop CS4 on some platforms, printer models, and printer driver versions. Let me know if you have questions/concerns.

 
I also offer custom black-and-white profiles for Epson printers that support the Advanced B&W Photo driver mode (currently the Epson printers that use UltraChrome K3, K3 with Vivid Magenta, and HDR inks). The price for one ABW custom profile is $15 (USD). If you would like to order an ABW custom profile, follow the instructions below:
