I normally save my film scanned images into PS7 with Adobe RGB 1998 profile and have read a lot on the web about how to use profiles with PS7 and my Epson 1290. For me a few points still need clarifying.
Am I correct that:
1 – Epson do not supply, as standard, separate paper profiles which PS7 can "see" on a PC (I have read that their MAC version does) The Epson profiles are embedded in their single printer driver which only the printer and not PS7 can extract the profiles?
2- I have downloaded the Epson paper profiles separately (Ian Lyons)
3 – In using these (third party?) profiles I now can select a paper type profile in PS7 but assume that I must now in the Epson print setup select "no colour control" (or similar words)?
4 – Accepting the above as correct I would also like to know if, as I only have one "photo quality" printer, should I embed the 1290 profile in my saved psd files? If I do this then I am concerned that on printing I might have a "double applied" profile.
All my concern would be superfluous if the programmers of the printing software could inform the "human printer" of step by step "do you really want to do this?" e.g. double gamma correction, double profiling etc.
