Settings for EPSON inkjet printing technology


All Canson® Infinity media have been developed to meet the expectations and needs of artists, photographers and printing laboratories working with the Epson inkjet printing technology.
We offer on this website free generic ICC profiles designed for EPSON Stylus Photo (above 8 colours) and EPSON Stylus Pro for professional Fine Art & Photo printing.
The profiles for EPSON printers are created using Matte Black inks when printing on Matte papers and Photo Black inks when using Glossy papers. Please carefully look at the media settings table.

We recommend you follow our advice and respect each step described below to get the best printing results.

What is an ICC profile?

An ICC profile will enable you to maximise the print quality and reproduce accurately the original colours, by calibrating the printer settings prior to printing.
Because each paper has a slightly different shade, surface structure and reacts differently, it is important that use the ICC profile that is specifically designed for this paper.

Settings before printing

Please remember that other factors need to be configured to optimise the print results:
  • Check the specifications of your graphic card
  • Check that your monitor is well calibrated and profiled
  • Check that you printer does not have any ink problems (blocked ink lack of ink, etc..) and that you are using printer manufacturer’s inks
  • Look at your Adobe PhotoShop settings – you need to work in a RGB colour space
  • Optimum room temperature: 20-25°C (68-77°F)
  • Optimum room humidity: 40-60% relative humidity
  • Optimum viewing light: 5000K
Because of personal preferences, printing conditions and the type of image you are printing, the printer settings may need to be adapted. We recommend you experiment with different settings to reach the preferred look for your prints.

Profile installation

Save the icc profile in the correct location on your computer so that the application can access it:
  • Mac OS X : /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
  • Mac OS 9.x : System Folder/ColorSync Profiles
  • Windows 2000, XP, Vista : Windowssystem32spooldriverscolor
You can right-click on the ICC profile and choose to install
Important Note: If you are replacing a profile in Windows XP, the above shortcut does not work. The profiles must be manually copied to the correct directory for the original profile to be replaced.
Windows NT : Winntsystem32color
Windows 98/ME : WindowsSystemColor
If your Photoshop software is open, you will need to reboot it to be sure that the profiles have been loaded in the application.
Once you have downloaded and installed the profile and carried out the colour corrections and image adjustments, save your work before printing.
