Printer Calibration for Epson XP-960?

Postby jamesmackenzie » Thu Nov 30, 2017 7:38 am

I'd like to upgrade my AI Studio and HDR 8 with printer calibration, but can't find my printer - an Epson Expression Photo XP-960. Would anyone know if its profile is covered where I haven't found it, or is about to be covered?
I don't think it's especially new or obscure. Its print quality credentials may be beneath the dignity of these tools, I suppose (although it's been more reliable and consistent than my old Epson R1900). Could this printer be covered under a different name, if it is marketed with a different identity outside the US?
Many thanks, if you have any thoughts.

Dear user,

The EPSON XP-960, unfortunately, is not supported by the SilverFast scanning software. You require a separate flatbed scanner to create color profiles for that.
Also, make sure the printer driver allows to disable the color management.

kind regards
Arne

Thank you for confirming that. I do use a separate scanner, with its own AI Studio and IT8 calibration, so it would only be to calibrate the print output from Photoshop or Lightroom. I was considering a standalone PrintDao purchase.
