Title: Profiling Solution for Canon Printer
Post by: felix5616 on March 21, 2024, 06:56:07 am

After selling the now abandoned HP Z3200 printer I am looking into the new Canon Pro Graff 4600 printer. What is the most user friendly profiling system for creating custom ICC profiles for a printer?

I use Freestyle Photo's custom profiling service:  https://www.freestylephoto.com/15076-Freestyle-Custom-Printer-Profile-(Made-to-Order)

What's your budget? A spectrophotometer will be the biggest impact on your costs.

See: https://xritephotous.com/i1basic-pro-3/ You can find it less, around your price point if you look, I also see they have an open box for $900. Great Spectrophotometer and software.

That looks like the basic screen profiling kit - I believe you'd also need the Publish software upgrade (https://xritephotous.com/x-rite-i1publish-upgrade/)
