pedrors Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm willing to try Affinity Photo but before, I would like to know if it supports the Printer Profiles for the Epson SureColor P800 printer. I print my photos using different papers and canvases, so ,I need to know if the profiles published by Epson, for my printer, will work with Affinity Photo. Thank you for any input.

Staff stokerg Posted July 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi pedrors and Welcome to the Forums, From doing a search of the Forums, other users have reported no problems with the selecting the colour profile for the P800. I'd suggest checking out the 10 day trial of Affinity Photo here: https://affinity.serif.com/photo/trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrors Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I already downloaded Affinity Photo, but when I want to print using my Epson SureColor P800 printer, the available profiles are a very basic few ones, while, in Photoshop, I've over 30 different ones. How can I get the other ones? Actually, most of the papers/canvases that I use are not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In either case, I would expect the installation of your printer to include installing appropriate profiles into the right spot on the system, and Photo should find them there.. You might look through your file system and see if you can find them.

pedrors Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Exactly this is what I was expecting that would happen, as it does with Photoshop, but, unfortunately it didn't. I tried to re-install the Combo for the printer expecting that it would also install in Affinity Photo, and it didn't either . I'm on Mac OS 10.14.5 "Mojave".

walt.farrell Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks. Probably someone familiar with MacOS can tell you where to look in your system files to find the profiles.

smadell Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi, pedrors... On macOS, printing profiles are in 1 of 2 places. They are in: 1) <SystemDisk>/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ 2) <SystemDisk>/Users/<User Name>/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ Note - <SystemDisk> is the name of the hard drive that serves as your Startup drive. <User Name> is the name of your User. The icc profiles in your Main library are accessible to all users. The profiles in the User Library are only accessible to that user. If you put your printer profiles in there, they should be accessible from the Printer dialog. After choosing Print... from the File menu, choose your printer at the top of the dialog box, as usual. In the middle of the dialog box, from the drop-down menu, choose "Color Matching." Make sure that the radio button for "ColorSync" is chosen. You can find your printer profiles in the menu underneath that choice. walt.farrell 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2 (latest retail versions) - desktop & iPad Culling - FastRawViewer; Raw Developer - Capture One Pro; Asset Management - Photo Supreme Mac Studio with M2 Max (2023}; 64 GB RAM; macOS 13 (Ventura); Mac Studio Display - iPad Air 4th Gen; iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrors Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi smadell Thank you! What I was missing was to select "ColorSync" in the printer panel, which somehow has been "Checked" on Photoshop , maybe I did a few years ago!!!!
