How similar are the two profiles (you can compare them at ICC View, or IIRC on Mac OS using ColorSync)? How do prints made using each look, and how do they compare with each other?ДЄnd if you're just looking for an inexpensive but decent printer profiling system, you might find a good-condition X-Rite ColorMunki Photo on eBay from a reputable seller for $125 or so, and you can use it with the latest X-Rite i1Studio software, or probably the Calibrite version. If you have both the hardware and the software, try making an ICC printing profile for some current paper, and then comparing the profile to the paper manufacturer's 'canned' profile for your printer. It's not clear to me what you want: do you have the hardware, but not the corresponding software (or at least not a full, not-trial version of it)? Or do you have software, but not the hardware? Or do you have both? I'll probably just spring the $600 and eventually buy my own, but knowing that a printer calibration, in theory, just needs a good scanner and reference sheet to do the magic, I find it hard to believe that there's not an open source or better deal out there.

I'll give it a try and report back (if anyone is curious) but just wildly curious if anyone here has ever tried this or knows if advances in ICC profiles make this entire experiment a joke.ДЄnd side question - is there a good paper profiler or open source one out there? I've used DisplaењњAL for my monitors - and it works great with the OPTIXxr, but can't seem to find one that works for printers. So here's my question - does anyone know if these ICC profiles it would create be any good? I have a ton of old paper that doesn't have profiles to match it, and would love to burn through them but don't want to spend $500 on a printer profile solution to burn through about $300 worth of old paper.

I downloaded it here and the serial number totally worked.

I was SHOCKED to see that this software DOES seem to work and run on Windows 11. I'm sure it's aged a bit, but I saw the old package since the OPTIXxr still works to calibrate my monitors (it uses the DTP95 hardware, which is what most consumer grade monitor calibrators use to this day, so no need to get a new calibrator - yet) I used it as my first calibration system and loved it. So I'm curious - does anyone have the EZcolor software? This was the old school x-rite color calibration from around 2005.
