Hi Jeremy, phoned you yesterday re difficulty with applying two profiles through CS3. Have updated Photoshop and the profiles now work perfectly! Thank you for your assistance. John F.

(John F. ran into a known issue with out of date CS3 installations - for a couple months there ICC profiles were broken. The symptoms were near-black soft proofs and prints. If you are experiencing this, make sure you update your copy of CS3 to the latest and the problem will go away!)

Awesome! Thanks so much for getting this done prior to the Christmas break Jeremy.

All the best for the Christmas season to you and your staff.

Cheers

Hi Jeremy,
Wow, what a difference. The canned Canson vs the Custom profile is very noticeable in the soft proofing. With the Ilford canned vs the Custom profile, I struggled to find a difference at first.  On the portrait I opened the only difference I noticed was that the highlight is a little more blown out on the Custom profile, which matches what happens on my printer. It wasn't till I opened a multicolour image that the difference became very noticeable.

While I've only soft proofed at this time, both profiles look amazing, and I'm looking forward to doing a couple of prints on the weekend. Amazing work Jeremy.

Cheers Rob

Many thanks Jeremy - for the quick turn around and the good advice re the 3880 carts and the RIP's. You, and Image Science generally, are a great advertisement for "shopping locally" - great personal service and good sound advice!

(John S.)

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you very much for the Custom ICC profile. The service was fantastic and the timely response to my email question was great.

Now I have a profile is clearly superior to the paper manufacturer’s own profile – better greens and magentas in particular. This will certainly save me far more than the profile’s cost in wasted paper and ink in trying to get the print to match what I see on the monitor. Not to mention the time it saves me too!

Kind regards,
Tony

Hi Jeremy,

The print output using your profile is absolutely brilliant! Wish I had done it years ago! Thanks for your prompt service and advice.

Dear Jeremy/Image Science Team,

Many thanks for very prompt delivery of the ICC profiles.  The results are excellent.  Also, I want to complement you on the helpfulness and high quality of your instructions – absolutely first class.

Thanks again,

John

(John V.)

Hi Jeremy, The profile is absolutely perfect. Spot on! The Chromajet Metallic Pearl profile from Centurion (DES) is terrible. May be you need to do all the profiling for DES.

Thanks again it's fabulous.

Regards Rob

(Rob H.)

Dear Jeremy,

thank you for taking the time to answer over the phone and by email what to you must be somewhat inane questions. I have now installed the two printer profiles you sent me and recalibrated the monitor at a brighter level. The results as as close to perfect as I would wish. Your 'Using ICC Output Profiles' pdf file was uncommonly useful and detail given to a fault. If this had been written by the usual computer geek it would have been unintelligible to the tyro user.

Best regards

Hi!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I gave the new profiles a quick go last night using the photodisc test image, and am most pleased by the results of the PhotoSatin profile!
That paper is so white, it's practically blue, but skin tones look a lot more natural now ! I'll be happy to use that paper for family snaps/portraits now!

And you managed to reduce the "reddish" cast I had the portfolio rag too :)

I'll admit the Gold Fibre Silk canned profile was pretty good to start off with, but now it seems a bit richer, and more robust. Gave it that punch it really needed.

Can't wait to receive the scans now !

G'day To The Image Science Team,

Just letting you know your custom ICC profile works great I've had no problems at all, loaded profile & started printing straight away.

Now I have the Canson Infinity paper custom ICC profile for my printer it makes the image jump off the paper, very happy, thanks.

I was a bit unsure about all this printing stuff being new to the industry, but I have found your site very helpful & easy to understand.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

(Russell H.)

Hi Jeremy

Thanks for the speedy turn around for my profile...I think I've beaten the odds and got it to work properly for the first time!

I'm now printing stuff that is pretty well faithful to what I'm seeing on the screen, and that for me was the object of the exercise. The tips on viewing in Photoshop are very much appreciated for a rank PS amateur...that's going to save a LOT of paper!

Thanks again, you've been a pleasure to deal with.

Regards

Hi Jeremy,
 
Thankyou for the colour profile. This combined with the spyder pro 3 l recently bought off Image Science has solved an annoying shading issue l have had with a recent photo.
 
I am very happy with the change after using your profile and know this has will greatly  increased the quality of prints that l will do in the future.
 
Thankyou so much!

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the 3800 profiles - they are excellent! The profiles (and the new
Epson 3800) made a quantum change to my battle with printers. Great stuff -
finally getting somewhere!

Regards

Les

(Les L.)

It's 10:30pm! Stop working and get back to the family. :-)

...

I have just tried one of the profiles, and the improvement is enormous!
Printouts now look the same as on the screen. Assuming that the other
profiles work the same way, I am very happy.

Thanks.

(Jeff D.)

Yes!!!  My profile is giving the best results I have ever had.

My prints match my CG222W image. Now I can do fine photographic
adjustments with confidence!

Thanks for all your patient help Jeremy.

Hi,

I have just printed the Andrew Rodney test file and it is perfect, the color great and the greyscale parts of the image are neutral, many thanks again.

Hi Phil

I'm sure you've gone home but I just wanted to thank you for sending
those through. After FINALLY getting my two year old to bed, I have
just printed my first photo using one of the profiles through
Lightroom, which Jeremy recommended. And I have to say, after
printing about a dozen off last night trying to get the correct tones
etc, this is the closest to what I am looking at on the monitor...
first go! I still have a lot to learn but hopefully I won't be
wasting too much paper now that I have the profiles.

(Adrienne)

The profiles you sent me work a treat! I stumbled across the image science web site by accident, you've changed the colour of my monitor (with a new Spyder3), changed the colour of my printer (2 brand new profiles) and changed the colour of my day (confidence in my work)

A big fat thankyou!

Kind regards

(Caroline H.)

Hi Jeremy,

WOW, I have struggled with my printing for 10 years. Went through the learning process with "Adobe calibration software" and eventually the inconsistancies got to me and I bought a Spyder2 Suite. I am happy with it's performance but had some doubts when I read your notes. My Epson 2400 continued to produce darker, than the monitor, prints even with monitor calibration. It was when I had to print a simple cover for a CD I knew that my printer was way out of calibration. I had read the information on your website sometime ago and bookmarked it. After revisiting the site I printed a target and sent it off to you. The rest is history as they say, $75 well spent. I'm looking forward to buying an EIZO monitor from you later this year. Many thanks for your straight forward easy to follow instructions and the honest informative approach to system calibration.

Best regards, Charles

(Charles E.)

Hi Jeremy: Got the new profile working and is working great, getting
really good match between monitor and print. The grey test print was as
about as neutral as I've seen. Website also very helpful.

Thanks again.

(Carl Z.)

Jeremy,

Many thanks for the prompt service. I have installed the profiles and tested
them with the test print. This is the most superb output I have achieved as
I tried using the print calibration methods provided with my Spyder2 monitor
calibrator with limited success. I am confident that I will also get great
reproduction from my own prints.

At last I feel confident in my printing capability.

(Neville B.)

Hi Jeremy

Thanks for the profiles. I knew there would be a difference because
everything I've read said there would be, but I guess seeing is
believing. Even though I expected a difference I'm astonished at the
difference in output quality - well worth the expense.

(Jeff R.)

It is perfect thank you!!
Much better than I had been using.

Thanks Jeremy

(Craig)

Hi Jeremy,

What a fantastic result you've achieved for us! It's lifted muddy
greenish output to a very close match to the screen display, and it's
even hard to distinguish the quality of colour output on bond vs. coated
paper. (And this is just for unexciting satellite imagery.)

It was only after reading Part 5 of "Stephen Johnson on Digital
Photography" that I was exposed to some of the issues, but I didn't
expect such a big improvement from a custom profile.

(Mark B)

Thank you for changing my life!!! (Put THAT in your testimonies ;)

The results were outstanding.

Thank you Jeremy.

(Andrew G.)

Hi Amy and Jeremy

All three profiles print the PDI test file identically as far as I can tell
and are a very close match to the sample from an Epson 7800 which you sent
some time back.
So an excellent result in reward for your perseverence.
Thanks muchly and I`ll be looking for baby news in your next newsletter.

Sincerely
Vin

(Vin H.)

Amy,
Absolutely excellent! My prints have never looked better.
Thanks so much

(John B.)

Hi Amy,

Thanks for the profiles. They are excellent!

I printed a trial image on H Photo Rag and then Museo Silver Rag.
Apart from the density differences between the papers, the actual colours
were almost identical (dare I say identical). Terrific.
Finally my prints now match my monitor ( I bought an Eye-One Display
2 from you a few months ago).

Well done and thanks again for the quick service.

(Stephen B.)

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the profile - works brilliantly, I am very impressed as to
how accurate it is.

(Jonathan M.)

Hi Jeremy,

The profiles are fantastic! It was such a shock to see all the
colours printed just as they are on the screen. I can now clearly see
the faults that the generic profiles had.

I have printed out a couple of landscapes on the photo rag and they
do look fabulous. I had no idea that photos could look like art. Just
knowing that I can produce an end product like that will really
inspire me to take time when I make the original.

Today I bought some Ilford smooth pearl paper to try out and
downloaded the Ilford profiles for a Canon 4000 printer. I'm already
disappointed. I can see that I'll be knocking at your door soon for some more
profiles.

Many thanks,
Rowan

(Rowan T.)

Hello Jeremy,

I have installed the profiles and the results are just terrific!!!

What a difference they have made. My prints are beautiful.

I am achieving a very good black and white print as well.

Thanks heaps.

Cheers

(Michael F. - Click 88 Photographics)

Jeremy,

Just got back and loaded the profile for the Photo Rag 308 paper. The results were fantastic!!!

All the best

(Hugh V.)

Hi Jeremy,

I thought I'd let you know that the new profile is a success! I'm now getting the great quality prints that I'd been hoping for.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Best regards,
Tully

(Tully G.)

Jeremy..

thanks for the prompt service!!!

Have been happily printing away for a while, tonight, and am very impressed... the colours seem to be as 'spot on' as I need...

Thanks a lot !!
