I’m very pleased with the profile. For the last 12 months I’ve been using home-brewed profiles using Monaco EZcolour – but they’re just not good enough for exacting work and there’s been an annoying slight green cast in some images and one low-key pic from a recent test shoot was especially bad.
That image has finally printed correctly with the D65 profile you made – I haven’t tried the D50 profile so far.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the profiles they are great. I would really appreciate the extra profiles for the following
Cool White Fluorescent - Illuminant F2.
Many thanks

Using the profile you sent and just wanted to say Thank You - the results are superb - far better than I ever thought possible from a basic printer like the Canon Pixma. Skin tones are spot on where previously I had a red/yellow tinge especially in shadow parts. I am really excited about the possibilities for high quality printing now from a budget setup.
The images are slightly darker than I would expect although I have only tried a few test prints and this could be my screen calibration. I have ordered a Huey screen calibrator and hope that will make a difference.
Many thanks once again from a well satisfied customer.

Thank you for the profile and the information.
I've just done a couple of A4 comparison prints using a favorite image (a night shot from Valencia). I used your profile and the standard Epson R2880 Premium Glossy profile. This is as onerous a test as you will ever get! 2 prints side by side!
Your profile certainly produces a different print to the Epson profile and I believe better. They will both need to dry overnight before I can be accurate, but immediately your print is less "orange", less "barbie doll pink", tending more towards blue, and generally more believable colours based on my memory of the original scene. I have another test image of Valentino Rossi (MotoGP) which really exposed the Epson profile which I intend to try as my first A3+ test.
Your kind offer to provide an adjusted profile to suit my ambient lighting is generous but not neccessary.
I have not yet printed A3+, never mind explored the matte paper profile. So if I experience any problems with Epsons own I might be back again with another order.
I did notice that your profile file is massive compared to the 1Kb Epson offerings!
Many thanks,
Richard

The results from using your profile for my Epson R1900 are absolutely superb.
I am only a hobby photographer, but a few years ago I learned the benefits of operating a fully calibrated workflow from monitor to final print. It saves an incredible amount of time and money (wasted paper and ink).
From your email I can see that with a bit more research I could probably achieve even better results – though it’s hard to imagine.
I have no doubt that I will be using your service in the future, as well as recommending it to fellow photographers.
Many thanks,
Steve

Just to say a massive thank you - and what an incredibly fast turnaround, you could only have received the patches this morning. I have just printed using the profiles you provided, the overall colour rendering and especially the skin tones are all perfect.
I still find it hard to believe just how far you can push a fairly basic printer like my Canon 4500 for outstanding results when the colour profiles are accurately matched
Thank you again - one very satisfied customer.
