Generic or Custom ICC Profiles...which suits

If you do digital inkjet printing, whether you use Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture or QImage, the very basic requirements are to at least use a generic profile...or better still, a 100% accurate custom profile.

ICC Profiles ensure colour accuracy when sending image data from your software application to the printer. Without profiles, you are in a world of total guesswork as to what results you will achieve.

The Difference...

GENERIC ICC PROFILE - an ICC Profile which has been created on a third party's printer (not your own but the same model) and then offered for your use. Although not guaranteed for 100% accuracy, they are usually better than using no profile at all.

PermaJet offers a wide range of generic profiles using Original (OEM) Inks or PermaJet's own inksets for this reason:

Certain paper and ink manufacturers fail to provide even the basic generic profiles!! Consider this...
Having just invested in some high quality inkjet papers, you are unable to use them instantly with at least the chance of the colours being correct. You may well end up throwing valuable papers in the bin because of the lack of a basic generic profile. CLICK HERE FOR GENERIC ICC PROFILES DOWNLOADS.

 

CUSTOM ICC PROFILE - an ICC Profile specifically created for your own printer and is derived from your output of some target patches with all colour management disabled. These patches will have been sent to the profiling company to scan with a spectrophotometer and e-mailed to you to install on your computer system.
This method is 100% accurate.

PermaJet highly recommend the use of our custom profiling service. In order to enjoy the full benefits of using the PermaJet range of inkjet papers and inks, the profiling service will mean that the profile is specifically calibrated for your paper, printer and ink combination.
