Purchase Profiles

If you are in need of reasonably priced, high quality printer profiles for use on one printer please consider using my profiling services. For more information about how I make printer profiles on my Making Profiles page.

If you need complete Color Management solutions for multiple monitors, output types, or non RGB printers, please contact one of the color consultants listed on my Links page.

My services cost: $35 per profile. If 3 or more profiles are purchased at the same time the first two profiles cost $35 and all the additional profiles are only $30 each. The discounted price is only applicable if all profiles are paid for at the same time, all the targets are received at the same time and all the profiles can be delivered to the same email account at the same time.

Preferred payment method is PayPal. I also accept cash, money orders and checks. However, cash payments are not safe and therefore are not recommended and are sent at the sender's risk. All payments must be in US dollars.

$35 per profile is a very good price compared to most profiling services.  In addition I provide three variations of each profile, more information about color management and workflow fundamentals in my Profiling Package. Furthermore, if you are not satisfied with the results you achieve with your profile I include the invaluable service of reviewing and troubleshooting your workflow at no extra charge; while at other profiling services you are simply given a refund and never know why your profile did not provide the results you expected.

I provide all three of the Gamut Mapping variations available in Profile Maker Pro because each variation provides slightly different results when printing with through the profile. Some images may print better using one variation and others may print better using another variation, if you have all three variations you can try each of them and use the one that works best for the image you are printing. See the How I Make Profiles page for details about the three Gamut Mapping variations.

I provide color management fundamentals and detailed workflow information in my Profiling Package because using a proper workflow and understanding the fundamentals of color management are critical to successfully using profiles. Information on color management fundamentals is are available in books and online there also seminars and and classes available. However, obtaining individual  training or having a customized workflow developed or a review customized of your existing workflow with troubleshooting if necessary usually requires hiring a color consultant to make an onsite visit at a minimum cost of $2000.  However the actual cost is usually $7,000 or more because you are expected to purchase whatever software and hardware is recommended to resolve your problems and meet your stated goals. This makes color management cost prohibitive for most hobbyists. I want all digital artists and photographers to not only use printer profiles but to effectively implement color management in their digital darkroom so they can print better images and more efficiently. Therefore, I include this information in my Profiling Package and if needed provide an individual workflow review while keeping my price low. However the low price does not mean lower quality see How I Make Profiles for details on why my profiles give excellent results.

I run this service with almost no help, so when I am very busy delivery times may be slightly longer  (never more than 5 business days) and it may take me a little longer than I like to respond to your email but I will respond, please be patient.
