Ahhh HELP. ICC Profile Problems. Photoshop CS5

[Paul]

That's a pretty poor looking gamut in that profile. I wouldn't want to be using the inks that made that profile.

I think is more about the profile and ammount of samples scaned. more sample you scan, more acolors you can get

In that case, I wonder what device they used to make the profile?

... or how many sample lol
they might use about 100. thats good enough to produce simple photos. but not for gradients and more dificult colos

I'm pretty sure that I get a better profile than that out of my ColorMunki, and that doesn't scan many colours.

i had a look on your profile and gamut is very low. so i dont think you can get many colors out of it any way.
fo example here is your gamut and my:

white border show amount of colors that can be produced by your icc. green shows what my icc can doo.
so...
in few words. i dont think your icc was created for your printer. it might be for another s22 but surely not for yours

sorry to contaminate your tread but i found icc i created in the past for s22.
so this same printer two diferent profiles.


looks diferent??

Ummm so what are we saying then in short...lol -


im guessing that this is the reason why the images look really dark?

Thanks for looking Paul - Atleast i know whats what.

sounds to me like i need a ICC profile making is this correct..

[Paul]

is not only thatthey dark. this is not an issue realy... issue is your colors will be wrong as there is not enough gamut to reproduce good quality photos.

[meldean]

ahh right thanks for explaining. Can i send you payment Paul to make me an ICC Profile.. Need one no matter which way i look at it. Dont want to print mugs with wrong profile...

[Paul]

well. i would sugest to try what WDR sugested and you might be happy with outcome. if not then we can talk about custom icc.

[meldean]

ok will have a go.. The ICC profile you sent me back - is that the same one i sent you or should i load that one in.. ???
