We recommend Red River Papers when an economical and high performance quality paper is desired. Paper purchased through Red River links on this site help to offset the costs of providing all these high quality ICC Profiles. Thank You for your support.
While we have tuned our Signature Edition Inksets to be near transition free in terms of color with OEM, However there is an opportunity to get even better performance by using the provided ICC profiles. With these profiles we have achieved performance levels not before seen in aftermarket inksets for these Epson machines.
PCHG2 ICC Profiles
Profiles are created using Argyll CMS and an XRite i1Pro2 Spectrophotometer. All are extremely high quality profiles and the recommended Rendering Intent is Relative Colorimetric.
Why Multiple Profiles for each paper?
The reason is that the standard ICC profile that 99% of users use and are provided by others assume that perfect daylight conditions are what the images will be viewed in. We know that is not always achieved.
Some advanced RIP software can accomodate the changes in light conditons and we provide this similar feature. Black and White images when viewed under tungsten or quartz lights sometimes offer a reddish cast even with the perfect D50 ICC profile. The use of the alternate tungsten illumination profile will sometimes cure this effect. Do realize that the compensation for the different lighting is an approximate guess and can be used when the D50 is displaying strong casts in certain conditions. Only trial and error will determine which one is best used.
The use of the D50 is the normal ICC lighting condition that is normally universally used.
D65 is sometimes preferred by some. The FL series are for Fluorescent Cool White and Warm White lamps and Tungsten is for Quartz and incandescent lighting.
