With the work being done on the display stack around HDR and color management there is a risk that some of the older stuff fall to the side. Is there anyone reading this using or relying on the ICC color profiles for printers? Is it useful? I been told it basically isn't, but I would love to hear a counterargument if anyone got one. #linux #printing #fedora #colormanagement

@Cfkschaller Dunno how relevant this is since I use debian & may be mistaken by what the question is about, so that in mind:

I am an artist who uses Krita (everyday), and quite often print things. Print shops want various sorts of icc profiles, sometimes their own unique ones. But I think this is handled by Krita since a picture couldn't exist without a profile...?

I have not familiarized myself with HDR at all since I've never had access to anything that could display it.

@Neotheta thanks for your response. So my question was more thinking about the icc files you can upload to at least some home printers to calibrate the color. Never met anyone who tried that who was able to spot a difference though 🤷

@Cfkschaller @Neotheta ICC profiles for home printers absolutely make a difference. Printing to a Canon Selfy photo printer with and without one is very noticeable. That should be true for any reasonably good photo printer

@Cfkschaller I've only ever heard of printer calibration as a sort of myth because I've never seen or heard anyone who has done it.

Colour calibration also needs an expensive device so the benefits are very small.

But it does make me think that something that needs precision like this could be found rather in science than art/photo printing.
