Pro Grade Equipment

Profiled lots of papers from fine art to plain garbage stock, it all prints well on my Epson 4000. Easy to set up and use on a MAC. Also tried the competition, then they merged.

Reliable and accurate color management

Product installation is simple on a Windows XP PC. Profiling my LCD display was straightforward. The only minor issues were related to limitations of the monitor's controls. The software is suitable for inexperienced users. Profiling papers for my Epson R1800 was a bit more complex. Program usage is, again, simple but a bit of practice and skill is needed to scan the color patches. After a few attempts, I was able to make profiles that yielded better results than those downloaded from various web sites. I didn't try scanner calibration because my film scanner has profile creation software. The only downside to the product is the initial expense. If you use a variety of fine art or other high quality papers, this package will enable accurate color reproduction.
