![]() ![]() : Epson UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta This can be as simple as including a similarly named plain text file with each profile you create, for example: Filename. Therefore you should document all these facets while generating a profile. Keep in mind that a printer profile is only valid for a particular combination of Printer, Ink set, Paper, Driver and Settings. A more practical approach would be to set Composite Gamma to a value of 1.0, which gamma corrects the output to look more perceptually natural, which consequently means the ICC profile has less to correct for, and thus can be generated using less color patches, and therefore using less ink and paper to do so. And while this is a valid approach, it does generally mean you need to generate a profile using more color patches, which means using more ink and paper for each profile you generate. What kinda threw me off, is that the “Uncorrected” Color Correction mode produces linear gamma output, which practically means very dark output, which the ICC profile is going to need to correct for. When reading Gutenprint’s documentation they clearly indicated that you should use the “Uncorrected” Color Correction mode, which is very much good advice, as we need deterministic output to be able to generate and apply our ICC profiles in a consistent manner. Sidenote, if you happen to have a R3000 as well and you want to be able to get good results using Gutenprint, you can get some of my profiles here, not all of these profiles have been practically tested. For a while I struggled a bit to get good quality color photo output from the R3000 using Gutenprint, as it took me a while to figure out which settings proved best for generating and applying ICC profiles. Some time ago I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer, as I wanted to be able to print at A3 size, and get good quality monochrome prints. With modern printers usually being driverless IPP printers, classic printer drivers, installed under CUPS by its web interface or a printer setup tool, are deprecated and replaced by Printer Applications (for the non-driverless legacy and specialty printers) which emulate driverless IPP printers as this one.Practical Printer Profiling with Gutenprint In the future, there will be utilities to easily find non-driverless printers and find the correct Printer Application for them. You find it with your browser under Note that currently printers have to get added via the web interface to use them. ![]() Like on a physical network printer there is a web interface for administration, here especially also for adding and configuring printers. This Printer Application emulates a driverless IPP network printer (IPP Everywhere) for each physical printer set up with it, so your computer's printing environment discovers it automatically and makes your printer(s) available for printing. As soon as the Gutenprint project provides a native Printer Application, this Printer Application retro-fitting the CUPS driver will get discontinued. Especially they should create a native Printer Application, meaning that it does not use PPDs, CUPS filters, and CUPS backends internally. Note: Gutenprint is an actively maintained project, therefore it would also be the correct way if Gutenprint gets turned into a Printer Application by its maintainers, or at least this be offered as an alternative to the classic CUPS driver. ) and has made many user's printers work and with this Printer Application these printers will continue to work in environments where only Printer Applications (and no classic printer driver packages) are supported. Gutenprint already ships for many years with most common Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, SUSE. Note though that as a Printer Application is an emulation of a driverless IPP printer, using the printer's own driverless IPP functionality is recommended. Some of these printers are probably also driverless IPP printers, but you can still use this Printer Application then as perhaps you could get better output quality. In addition it provides generic support for the different PCL flavors, everything which is supported by the Gutenprint CUPS Raster driver ( ). It supports more than 3000 different printer models, especially inkjet printers from Epson and Canon, dye-sublimation photo printers, PCL 4/5c/e laser printers, but also some other printers. If you want to use a printer which is not a modern driverless IPP (AirPrint, Mopria, IPP Everywhere, Wi-Fi Direct Print, prints from smartphones) printer (then you do not need any Printer Application) and/or want to print in very high quality with many adjustable options, for example photos or fine art, then this is the right Printer Application for you. ![]() if you have more than one Printer Application installed), click "Add Printer".
