Re: So this really seems to hoover big time. (Kind of long),
That is what I'm going to try, but it's feaking annoying, especially as I've just finished watching a Ilford puff piece I found while searching for information on my paper, on how they keep their old products supported for new printers...

So this really seems to hoover big time. (Kind of long),
I have my newish Canon Pixma iX6520 that I got a fairly good deal on when my HP B8550 decided to freeze up, (The canon was actually less expensive than buying inks for my backup printer). Well it prints pretty decent images, though I'd gotten the Prints on the HP to be very good and they were actually a bit better than I've managed to do on the Canon so far. Rather than go into excruciating detail I'll just say that there are things about the HP that I really liked but one of them wasn't the Windows printer driver. HP decided that Windows users really didn't need paper profiles, (Strangely Mac users got to have paper profiles). So a fully color managed printing work flow wasn't possible. The method used was to do all the adjustments necessary then set the image output to sRGB, and let the printer manage the color. That actually worked very well, matching what i saw on the screen 95% of the time. The new Canon however does allow profiles so I can set up an end to end color managed workflow! Yay! Except there's a fly in the ointment. I've been using Ilford Galerie Professional Inkjet Smooth Gloss Paper, to print 8x10s. As I said it the results were pretty good on the HP using the settings for HP's High Gloss Photo Paper and letting the printer handle the sRGB output. The Canon also produces pretty good output working that way but not as good as the HP was, and it should be able to do better. Now I like the Galerie Gloss it makes nice prints, which is good because I bought a sizable amount of it a couple of years ago at a very good price. So I tootled over to Ilford's website to download the profiles for the Canon, and... I can't find the product. It's disapeared. It's not even listed under it's product number as a discontinued item. So now I've got a couple hundred sheets of this stuff left and I have no particularly easy way of profiling it, (Oh and did I mention the Canon inks are a tad bit more expensive than the HP inks were, so I'd l;ike to have as little wastage as possible). -- Buy a Leica to get the full “Leica Experience”, (a quick reduction of funds in the bank account). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
