This repository contains a public database of user-generated ICC/ICM profiles for use with inkjet printers and photo papers.
All profiles you can find here are created using state-of-the-art tools like X-Rite i1Studio or X-Rite i1Photo Pro.
- Profiles available here are sorted in folders nested in the following fashion:
- Printer brand
- Printer model, series or family (in this case, also with print head model)
- Paper brand
- Paper family name + characteristics (matt/satin/glossy, grammage, etc.)
- The profile file name contains also the ink (brand, model) used in their creation.
- We don't categorize printers by their destined market segment, price or any subjective qualifiers. Only the "hard" material data, in other words what's actually useful to distinguish two different profiles, counts.
- All profiles listed here are either currently in production use by someone, or have been used in production by someone before.
- We accept contributions in the form of ICC profiles that meets the criteria listed above - the contributed profile
needs to be in production use by either the party contributing itself, or its client.
- Contributed profiles need to specify for which printer (or print head, if used in multiple devices of a manufacturer), which paper and on which ink they are created, as all of those are distinguishing factors, making significant color differences.
- All contributors also need to certify the profile submitted is created by a state-of-the-art profiling tool, capable of generating high-precision printer profiles. For now, X-Rite is a preferred brand of colorimeters in device profiling.
- All profiles listed here are published by their authors under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution - No Derivatives 4.0 license, unless otherwise specified.
- Profile authors are either actual commit authors, specified by the file name, or listed specifically in the folder descriptions, if it's not directly possible to retain authorship information on a certain file.
- Contributors agree to have their profile licensed on the terms specified above and are granting the repository operator a non-exclusive right to host their contributed profiles inside this repository for an indefinite period of time.
