Electro Magnetic Pulse
Well thats what I thought EMP stood for but it does me no good when I am printing to my Epson 3800. Epson, just like all other printer manufacturers that produce, thankyou very much, ICC profiles for their printer/paper combinations have their own unique way of identifying the profiles.
Rather than trying to figure them out each time you want to try a different paper stock, make a note of the following table. Some of the names are easy to figure out but others, not so much. Thats because from time to time they change the name of the paper.
Im sure there are perfectly sound marketing reasons for that but would it not make more sense to tell us what the profile is on the box of paper itself?
