This is my first foray into this group, so I’ll apologize if this subject has been covered before.

System: OS 10.4.8; PS CS2; Epson R2400.

In the Print Settings box of PS, where the choice of paper is made, there are grayed-out choices. One of these, for instance, is Velvet Fine Art. There are many other papers that I would like to access as well, but I’m at a loss as to how to accomplish that.

In a hunt around my computer, I find multiple printer/profile folders in library folders, color sync, utilities, etc., some of which have the iccs of numerous papers listed. An underlying question is, why do I have so many apparently (partially) redundant folders?

But the more pressing question is, what do I have to do to straighten out this mess and get all those papers listed as options when I go to Print?

I don’t come to this forum without doing some homework, but, so far, I haven’t found the answer. I’d appreciate direct help or a pointer to a reliable source.

Try reading the manual that came with your new printer. Problem solved.

Because your applications put them there. So stop worrying about it. And you didn’t understand the role of those icc profiles to begin with. Now you do.

There is no mess; see above.

You didn’t do enough homework. And a smart youngster at the Apple store pointed you in the right direction.

Harry,

Congratulations, I’ve never seen anyone flame themselves on Usenet before. You even included an "RTFM". I’m glad your questions were answered; thanks for giving me a smile this morning. 🙂
