good profile for Epson hotpressbright for epson 3800?
« on: January 17, 2017, 05:16:45 am »

Hey guys,
just began printing to hotpressbright with my 3800, but getting strange magenta colourcast, which is most apparent in BW prints.
I am using the hotpress MK_v1 profile that came included in the 3800 driver.
all calibrated workflow and no apparent cast on monitor, when softproofing in LR.
any ideas or sources of other profiles ?

thanks for your thoughts

cheers
Stephan

does the 3800 driver really contained Hot Press profile? even 3880 do not have it (at least in Europe)

go to US Epson web site, there are very good alternative profiles for some epson papers including Press papers

how do you print your BW? using ICC? try ABW mode (you can try with Eric Chan custom BW profiles - there is plenty of them for 3800) or alternatively yo can try QTR software which gives outstanding BW results (but requires some effort)
