Fotospeed Profiling Service

Colour Mismanagement
All devices capable of displaying colour do so using their own interpretation. Therefore they are all different. Walk into a TV showroom and watch a row of screens all showing the same channel but displaying different colour. Each is interpreting colour its own individual way. The same is true of computer monitors and, more crucially, inkjet printers. This individual interpretation is the reason you (quite likely) don't get what you see on screen represented on your paper output.

Colour Management
Implementing colour management ensures that your colour maintains its integrity from capture through to output. By implementing ICC profiling at the printing stage of the process, coupled with calibration and profiling of your monitor you can ensure that your colour is carried from source to destination independent of the devices being used and with total accuracy. Fotospeed can provide a bespoke profiling service that will guarantee accurate, consistent colour throughout your output process.

Why we don't offer generic profiles for download?
Visit many of the printer or paper manufacturer websites and you can download profiles for either your particular paper or your particular printer. It is unlikely that you will download a profile that is suitable for your particular paper on your particular printer unless you use a paper provided by your printer manufacturer. Even then it is hit and miss whether the profile will produce accurate results. These websites provide generic (average) profiles; one size fits all. They are not tailored to your specific needs and, unfortunately, in the world of colour management one size does not fit all.

In order that you can enjoy the benefits of our wide range of inkjet papers Fotospeed provides a bespoke profiling service tailored specifically for your particular combination of printer and paper and inkset. Using Fotospeed paper, on any printer, this service is free of charge.
