Title: HP B8550 - Set up as new printer profile
Post by: RonL on September 06, 2009, 10:37:07 PM
After years of using Qimage with my Epson R1800, I have changed to a HP B8550 wide format printer. My question is, how do I find ICC printer profiles for the HP? I have turned Prtr ICC and select Application Managed Colors in Color Management.

I looked for HP printer profiles but couldn't find any to purchase. Any heads up and tips would be appreciated.

I suggest you Google "hp b8550 profiles", there seems to be a problem with profiles for this printer  :(
If you are willing to purchase profiles, I suggest you use your local colour management company to make them for you, or, assuming you have a decent scanner, buy Profile Prism and make your own.
