Epson Metallic Paper profiles for 3800?

david yaugo · Jan 9, 2016

I recently purchased the glossy and lustre metallic papers from Epson. I went to download ICC profiles for the papers and there aren't any for the 3800. I tried both the 3880 profile and the generic epson glossy/lustre profiles. They are both way off. I no longer have the $500 colormunki that can profile paper. Does anyone know where to find a good profile for these two papers? MIT-Eric doesn't have anything. I guess Epson wants me to buy a new printer? Lol

I do not have samples of the Epson paper so I have no idea how closely it matches other metallic papers, but I am sure that both Red River and Moab/Legion Paper will have profiles for the 3800 and their metallic papers. There aren't too many manufacturers of metallic paper and most of them are the same paper rebranded.

I did a profile for a guy last year w/ Epson Metallic but I dont recall if he had a 3800 or 3880.

I'll have to dblcheck. Brian's suggestion is IMO quite reasonable.
