Default Why and which color profile ?

Not sure what board to post this on, but here we go,...

What will a commercial color profile do that I cannot do myself
by adjusting color settings in my printer driver software ?

Just curious if the Color Plus software for $ 105.00 is worth it.
Or the Spyder 2 for $ 185.00 ??

I use C88+ and durabrite inks with spectrabrite paper.

Thanks,

Don

Default Re: Why and which color profile ?

Yes they are worth it. It really all depends on how exact color management is required in your line of work. If your creating specifically for your own line, I would say you can get away with setting up your management yourself. If your creating and producing for other companies, etc. exact color representation/duplication is a must and a non calibrated workflow can cause you to loose valuable time and money.
