What is an ICC Printer Profile?
A Profile is a file that describes how an input or output device handles and reproduces colour.
All printers come with colour biases and colour errors.

Therefore, it is necessary to install a profile to achieve accurate colour from your printer. An ICC printer profile is specific to one certain printer, one type of paper, one inkset and, even, to one print resolution and media/paper setting.

What is a generic ICC Printer Profile?
A generic ICC printer profile is a pre-made file that describes how an input or output device handles and reproduces colour. This can be used for those who have the same printer model, with the same/similar paper and inks.

As all printers have a slightly different fingerprint, although it is most likely to produce good quality prints, users with higher quality expectations will need a custom icc printer profile.

What is a custom ICC Printer Profile?
A custom ICC printer profile is a file that is created for a specific printer, ink, paper, resolution and speed to ensure accurate colour reproduction.

Why might I need a custom profile?
Many Marrutt users happily print using the standard free downloadable ICC printer profiles available  – but remember, consumer quality desktop inkjet printers are manufactured to a certain production tolerance – no two printers will be identical, and tend to vary one to another to a greater or lesser degree.

The answer to this for those photographers and designers who have high printing standards is to decide which is their favourite paper, then get a custom icc profile written for the printer/paper combination.

The pay-off is that you will produce superb accurate colour prints with beautifully smooth colour tone graduations, showing excellent shadow detail, also retaining highlight detail also (provided your original image file is also of excellent quality) You will spend a lot less time in Adobe Photoshop / Lightroom, adjusting out printer distortions, colour bias errors etc.
