Ilford Profiles

Ilford posted printer profiles for Ilford Smoth Pearl and the 4800 printer. I began doing some color prints this morning for the first time. Results: nominal. Is that the right word? Results are what I expect from screen images.

Here's the Ilford Link to the profiles: Ilford Printer Profiles.

Dave,

Thanks for posting that. I'm on the fence between Epson Luster and the smooth pearl. This should help in the comparison. I wasn't happy with color on the pearl without a profile (using epsons luster profile).

That's been my experience with Ilford Smooth Pearl on the Epson 2200 for color: pretty good, with a bit of tweaking, and a good deal cheaper than Epson Lustre. My printer situation will be in a state of serious flus over the next two months; at least it looks like my paper choices won't change all that much.

I have been using Smooth Pearl for B&W. I do not like it as much for color. Glossy seems to be better. But, I hate to suggest it but Kodak Professional Lustre really works well for B&W and color. I was suprised with the result when I tried the Kodak paper on the Canon i9900.
