Hi Jens,
I don't know the system they use. All I know is that they bought their
hardware less than a year ago, and that it was a big investment for
the company. They take NOK 500,- per profile they make. You will need
one profile per paper type per printer.
their web presence is this: http://www.fotosentralen.no/
But I suggest you call the Oslo office and talk to them about it
directly. However, it would surprise me if there's no shop in
Copenhagen that can do the same thing...:-)
Cheers,
Jostein

This is very intersting, Jostein.
We might find this very usefull at work. Can you give us the name of
the
company or the name of the system they are using. In Denmark we have
a
company called Pixl, that does the same thing you described (I
believe).
I've been reading their website, but it's sooo complicated and
difficllt to
understand. They can do the whole thing for us, but it costs a small
fortune - somthing like 5000 USD or each printer. And it turned out
that
some of our printers can't really be calibrated at all.

Dave,
I gave up calibrating the printer. I have the Color Spyder for
calibrating the screen, but never got the prints right.
The solution for me was to order the service from a pro digital
photo
vendor. They sent me a file to print without colour correction. I
sent
the print back for the paper types I use, and got a ready-to-use
colour profile to use for printing. In PSP, I have to select the
custom made profile, turn off the adjustments in the printer driver,
and voilá. Works every time. It was a bit expensive, but it's worth
it
IMHO.

Subject: Colour profiles-PS-and home prining
Hi gang.
I know quite a few are up on colour profiles on this list so i
thought i would ask here
first.
I'm still haveing problems getting my print to look like the
monitor. I have only used
Adobe Gamma
to adjust my monitor and have not used the Spyder type of devices.
First off, should i be using that type of device if i'm going to do
this at least semi
seriously.
Second, when i shoot my D1 it does not have a real rgb or srgb
colour space persay. I
forget what
it is but PS seems to call it srgb.
My D2H is usually shot in Nikon RGB. When i print with my
Canons(S800 or BJC8200) i have
many
options for colour space. I usually choose working space,but
sometimes try the working
srgb etc.
Do i need to convert the file from say the Nikon RGB to srgb in PS,
then select that
otiopn in the
drop down menu,or am i wasting my time until i trruly profile my
monitor.
In PS 6 if i load up a D2H file it asks what colour space to use.
In
PSEL3 it does not.
Or are there profiles for these Canons out there that should be
loaded and used.
Any help is appreciated. Right now i need to up the curves past
what
looks good on my
monitor then
it prints out the way it should look in real life.
