I have an Epson 3800 and an Epson 280 printer. Aside from the stock profiles for Epson papers, I have found the stock profiles for Harmon, Ilford and Red River's standard glossy papers have worked well for me. Stock profiles for other some other Red River papers, Inkpress and Moab papers I have tried have not worked well. Any suggestions for other paper manufacturers whose stock profiles work well? I am particularly interested in doing inkjet notecards and postcards. However, Inkpress and Moab cards/profiles did not work for me and some of the Red River card papers/profiles also did not work well. Wish Epson would do these. Really do not want to cut and crease these myself. Any suggestions for alternatives?
While I am at it, any suggestions for a small modestly priced printer that delivers reasonably high quality? This would be for marketing materials and doesn't have to be exhibition quality. I am not happy with the results with the R280. I can't seem to get neutral greys out of it and there are unacceptable color shifts. Getting perfectly nice results with the 3800. Not expecting the quality of the 3800 for this, or for colors to be as accurate. But I do need neutral greys and somewhat better color precision. Is it just the Claria inks, or are there better Claria printers? Would prefer to stick with Epson if possible.
