These are intended to improve the colour accuracy and contrast from pictures printed using the printer models currently supported. They should be used as per the instruction information in order to obtain the best results. All ICI ICC colour profiles are designed to be used with original OEM inks, use of third party inks will lead to images of an unknown quality. These profiles are intended for use with Photoshop 5.x, 6.x and Windows.
