Dear Friends, I have been using Debian for more than 10 years and I am very excited to discover Gnome-Color manager. Being a beginner in color management, I would like to ask for help. The tasks include calibration of: * scanner: Epson 1660 and 2400, * display: various LCDs including some laptops, * and color printer: Lexmark c720. 1) ICC database available? I would like to know whether there is a free (as in Free Software) common database of ICC profiles available. 2) Scanner calibration target I would like to buy a scanner calibration target. Some cheap ones are available on http://www.targets.coloraid.de. But there are so many I don't know which one to buy. Can you give some advice? 3) Laser calibration / CUPS I wrote an email on CUPS to ask whether CUPS supported calibration and the answer was no. CUPS does not yet support ICC profiles. My printer is a Lexmark c720, an old color laser printer, but with very cheap cartridges on eBay. I find the colors a little bit dull and I imagine it could improve with calibration. The Lexmark c720 has an auto-calibration feature. It supports 4 or 5 color presets available from the PS driver, which is very vague. How can I dig into this driver and try to calibrate output? Do you think it is possible to create ICC profiles for the 4 or 5 printer presets? Is it possible or is there no way to reach a solution? Kind regards, Jean-Michel
