Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
The ink limit is not exceeded, preventing smudging or pooling.
: Using the correct profile prevents common issues like "blocked" shadows, inaccurate skin tones, and dull colors, saving you expensive ink and paper.
To achieve extra print quality, you need to acquire the correct .icc or .icm file for your specific printer model (e.g., Epson, Canon, HP) and your Agfa paper. 1. Where to Download
After configuring Photoshop, click to open your printer driver's native utility menu:
This is the most critical step to avoid "double profiling" (which ruins the print).
RIPs ignore the OS color engine and use their own high-precision math. When you load an Agfa ICC profile into a RIP, you can also control:
Your viewing light is likely too warm (incandescent). AGFA Extra Quality papers are calibrated for D50 (5000K) daylight. Check your prints under a daylight lamp. If still yellow, lower your paper base value in the ICC edit (advanced).
You read the dried target using a spectrophotometer (like an X-Rite i1Pro or Datacolor Spyderprint).
ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles are files that describe the color characteristics of a specific device, such as a printer or paper. They help ensure accurate color reproduction across different devices and platforms.
