Printer profiles from printer makers - how good are the canned profiles? Do you need custom profiles

How printers have got better over the years and why making your own profiles is no longer as important as it once was. Where the myth that canned profiles comes from - another bit of outdated forum wisdom.

Looking at where you get profiles for your printer and why buying paper from suppliers who provide profiles is a good idea.

Printers have improved a lot in linearity and printer to printer variation in recent years - make sure you are not listening to outdated advice.

The Colour Management book I recommend is Bruce Fraser's
'Real World Color Management'
Should be available 2nd hand at a good price.
