Here is the number from a mustang dyno from Active Autowerkes.

- need two vid cards for pc
- macs can handle dual calibration easier since the hardware allows for two profiles per card.

- more to come….

Good discussion on photo storage going on at Sportsshooter.

according to epson, you’re supposed to print on ‘the whiter side’. i’ve tried quite a few times and still can’t tell which side is whiter. here are some suggestions that i’ve found:

- rub paper between thumb and index finger. the rougher side is the print side. i have no idea if this works since i have pretty rough fingers.
- wet your finger and rub the paper. sticky side is the print side. i don’t want to do this every time because i usually print near the border
- side that is facing up when you open the paper is the print side. bingo. so far, this has worked well for me and has been the case for 3 packs of paper now. i just have a sticky note on my paper package that says this.

assuming that your monitor is already calibrated, do the following to calibrate an epson 1280:

- turn off all color-profiling in printer software: go to printer properties and under ‘mode’ select ‘custom’. select ‘no color adjustment’ may want to select 1440 dpi printing as well. it’s helpful to save your new settings as a preset.
- in photoshop, go to print preview, color management. under print space, select the paper you are printing on (select the paper you are printing on in printer properties as well). make sure you have the profiles installed! i found some here.

Some additional notes:
- for ilford classic pearl paper, choose ‘colorlife paper’ for paper selection in printer properties.
- in photoshop, in print preview, under ‘printspace’, for profile, choose: epson stylus photo 1290 colorlife p.p. (if you choose the profile from ilford, you’ll get a green cast).
- intent: perceptual, check ‘use black point compensation’
