I recently acquired an Epson 3800, a Spyder3Studio SR calibration system, and several sample packs of various brands of paper. I am curious to know how you are testing new papers. The sample packs all seem to come with 2 sheets of each paper. I have the ability to create my own profiles but there are so many different papers, it would be very time consuming to create a custom profile for each and every one of them. I am considering using manufacturer generated profiles for testing purposes but I would love to here recommendations based on your experience.
I have been looking at the various papers and getting a feel for their different characteristics as a first step, but need some guidance on proper methodology for fully testing the papers.
I will be printing both color and black and white. Subjects are typically architecture, portraits, and landscapes.
Thank you for any assistance.
Tony
