Decoding Imageprint V. 6 Profile Names
« on: May 23, 2007, 02:26:43 am »

 

I am in the process of setting up Imageprint V. 6 RIP on my Epson 4000. The list of profiles available through Profile Manager is vast to say the least.

Is there a way to de-code the cryptic profile names so I can get a better idea of what to download? What, for example, is "pk6"? Does that mean I'll need to drink a 6pk to figure it out? How about "RF2" or "RF3"? RCWF? RDAY--DAY means daylight, right?

Any help in breaking this code would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I need to consult a Navajo friend in Arizona?

Decoding Imageprint V. 6 Profile Names

There should be a decoder ring on their site <g>. Actually they should have the described names there.

In a nutshell, PK is Photo Black, MK Matt black. Since the profiles had to change over various versions, you'd use 6 with version 6 of IP (and I assume later). Then you have different profiles based on the lighting under which you'll view the prints (Day for daylight, RCWF is a Fluorescent light etc).
