What software should I use and what’s next?

Purchased an Epson 7210 and the cobra ink system. Now what program is best to use if I’ll be mainly using graphics from sites and not designing my own. Photoshop or Corel draw?

Also I keep reading about setting up printer profiles with the inks. What exactly does that mean and how would I do that?

Thanks

Cobra should be able to supply you with an ICC profile for their inks in that particular model of printer.

Even though you won't be designing your own artwork you still need graphics software that will print using an ICC profile. For raster artwork this could be Photoshop or the free Gimp software. For vector artwork you'll need to be looking at the likes of CorelDraw or Illustrator.

To use the profile you need to turn OFF colour management in your printer driver and turn ON colour management in your graphics software.

Cobra has a video about setting up profiles. To obtain the correct profiles, fill out the form on their site, and they will email them to you.
