Manual labour v1.0b http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en Web, 6 Jan 2010 09:24:00 +0200 Web, 6 Jan 2010 09:24:00 +0200 Canson & Museo profiles! http://www.taospace.com/epson We start the new year with a double update: Firstly, we've added Museo profiles, found by Thomas. Secondly there a lots of profiles available for Canson paper. This looks like a very interesting range of paper, that I hope to try out for myself, soon! Happy new year!

]]> Web, 6 Jan 2010 09:24:00 +0200 NewYearUpdate Thijs Stalenhoef Red River Paper releases new papers! http://www.taospace.com/epson Drew Hendrix at Red River wrote in to say that Red River has three new papers with R2880 profiles: Cordovan Textured Gloss, Paper Canvas, LuxArt Satin Rag. It also seemed that my list of Red River papers was somewhat out of date (my apologies if I missed any reader's email about this, becoming a dad does that to people :-) ). The list is now up to date again! Thanks Drew!

]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:36:00 +0200 RedRiverUpdate Thijs Stalenhoef Brilliant Paper profiles released! http://www.taospace.com/epson Roeland just found R2880 profiles for Brilliant paper, which seems to be a Calumet brand. After several months of near silence on the R2880 profile front, I've got an inbox full of good tips. Thanks for this one Roeland. More to come later today!

]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:10:00 +0200 BrilliantProfiles Thijs Stalenhoef Surprise! Innova profiles released! http://www.taospace.com/epson Innova just become the last major vendor to add support for the R2880. At Photokina Innova said that they weren't interested in providing profiles, but fortunately for us they changed their minds. In my mind this means that the R2880 is now a fully established printer, with profiles available for all major paper types and vendors. Is my work here done? Big thanks to Christos Andronis (check out his photographs of Greek nature!) for the tip.

]]> Mon, 3 Feb 2009 13:21:00 +0200 InnovaProfiles Thijs Stalenhoef Ilford profiles released! http://www.taospace.com/epson Ilford has released profiles for their Galerie range. With that most of the major paper-merchants have provided R2880 profiles, with the notable exception of Innova.

]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 11:19:00 +0200 IlfordProfiles Thijs Stalenhoef Hahnemuehle glossy profiles released! http://www.taospace.com/epson Hahnemühle has released profiles for their glossy papers and well as for their lumijet range. That's all their papers accounted for it seems! That still leaves Ilford, who hasn't responded to any queries for information recently, as several readers have reported.

]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:24:00 +0200 GlossyHahnemuehle Thijs Stalenhoef Harman FB profiles released! http://www.taospace.com/epson The Harman Inkjet profiles have now been released, as promised! Check the page for details. These profiles are the ones I've been waiting for, as this is my favourite paper. Hope to post experiences with it soon!

]]> Thu, 9 Oct 2008 10:48:00 +0200 HarmanReleased Thijs Stalenhoef Harman FB profiles coming soon! http://www.taospace.com/epson My contact at Harman Inkjet says the profiles are done and will be posted in the next couple of days! I'll keep you posted!

]]> Wed, 8 Oct 2008 18:30:00 +0200 HarmanSoon Thijs Stalenhoef Photokina post on TaoSpace http://blog.taospace.com/ My post on Photokina is up on the TaoSpace blog. Sorry it took so long, things have been pretty busy. Besides some quick takes on the various headline releases, there is quite a bit of news on the papers and R2880 printing front in the article to. Have a look!

]]> Fri, 3 Oct 2008 17:56:00 +0200 Photokina Thijs Stalenhoef Hahnemuhle profiles and new Epson premiums! http://www.taospace.com/epson Hahnemühle kept their word and released R2880 profiles in time for Photokina! They are matte only for now. Their representative told me that this is because of the more limited media-choices present for glossy in the R2880 driver, compared to earlier Epson printers. They had to go back and retest everything to find out which choices work to best with which papers, something they others wouldn't have had to do. They are working on it though.

Epson also added a couple of premium profiles. Check the list on the site. They also released a new driver for Windows only. If you tried this driver let me know what the difference are!

Stay tuned for more from Photokina on TaoSpace blog soon (i.e. this weekend).

]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:56:40 +0200 Photokina Thijs Stalenhoef Photokina http://www.taospace.com/epson Still no new profiles, but Hahnemühle is said to be close to releasing theirs. Read their latest response on the site.

I'll be at Photokina Cologne tomorrow. Most paper merchants will be exhibiting there, and I'll be sure to badger them about R2880 profiles! Probably I'll write a quick show-report on the regular TaoSpace blog.

]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:02:40 +0200 Photokina Thijs Stalenhoef Updated site and Tecco:print profiles! http://www.taospace.com/epson The site has gotten a small face-lift. Each paper manufacturer now has their own "tab" on the page. The one that has been updated last, will be open by default. This should make the page easier to navigate. Let me know what you think and if it is an improvement!

Reader Jochen Baumgartner pointed me towards german paper manufacturer Tecco:print's profiles. They too have a tab.

Just a reminder: if you have any actual experience using certain papers with the R2880 (with or without special profiles) please let me know and I'll post them here to help others.

]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:07:40 +0200 updated-site-and-tecco-print-profiles Thijs Stalenhoef Windows premium profiles up! http://www.taospace.com/epson Reader Jon Westcott points out that the Epson premium profiles for Windows are finally available. Get the link from profiles tracker page (its the same one as before).

Initial tests by Jon show minor improvements over the profiles shipping with the driver.

]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:48:16 +0200 windows-premium-profiles-up Thijs Stalenhoef Moab Profiles http://www.taospace.com/epson Reader Henry Edelson points out that Moab has their R2880 profiles up.
Visit the site to see more!

Also, him and mr. Chong point out that the premium Epson profile page has non-functional links for the Windows versions of the profile. I'll monitor this to see if they fix these links.

]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:25:59 +0200 moab-profiles Thijs Stalenhoef Epson Premium Profiles http://www.taospace.com/epson Not sure when these were released, but Epson has put up three profile archives for Matte and Glossy papers as well as Canvases. Each contains ICC profiles for a variety of Epson papers. Visit the profile tracker page for more info!

Sidenote: It appears there are more media-type available for selection in the american driver than there are in the european one. In any case, my driver does not list a variety of media types that Epson's user guide relies on. I will investigate this more later.

]]> Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:09:30 +0200 epson-premium-profiles Thijs Stalenhoef Still alive! http://www.taospace.com/epson It has been almost 2 weeks and no new profiles have been released. Innova remains the only vendor that has not responded to the call for information.

Unfortunately no further profiles have been released so far. I will continue to monitor of course!
