Why ICC Profiles Are So Important for Printing
I had an article published for Shutterbug Magazine titled “Why ICC Profiles Are So Important for Printing” which outlines why I recommend using ICC profiles when making fine art prints.
While you can find varied opinion on this, I always recommend consistency in a printing workflow, so that you can reduce the variables and focus on things that make the most significant difference – the quality of your final image.
