Do Any Of You Use The Icc Profiles For Art Prints?

If so which profile 9600 Enhanced Matte? Or what matches the printer profiles?

For files uploaded here or using your own printer?

If I were making my own prints then I would soft proof with the printer ICC profile.

However though many experiments and in testing out different 3rd party printing services, the effort of soft proofing and using ICC printer profiles gains very little over simply submitting the photos and allowing the print jobber to make the adjustments.

This is for printing by FAA

I was not aware of any ICC profiles for FAA prints.

Well if they use inkjet printers and they (FAA) advertises enhanced matte, then there should be a way of know what printer will be used so a file can be converted to the correct ICC profile. This would allow adjusting the image to correlate with the print profile.

The problem is, customers can choose from 7 different papers and things like metal prints and other items are not printed on Epson printers and you can't target files with different profiles to each product.

Just go with sRGB or Adobe1998 and let them handle it.

Okay, I will check the file with the expected profile but just send in the sRGB.

THANKS for the help!
