  Hi, I'm hoping someone owns one of these or can shed some light onto my problem. Not sure if I need to get a certain ICC Profile for the printer and paper I'm using...

  Printing from InDesign RGB with an RGB document. I've tried a CMYK document printing RGB in InDesign but no luck.

  I've read a bunch of stuff online but am getting a huge range of answers. Some saying free profiles are available and some saying people paid for them. Not sure what to do to get the colors to match my original art.

  Any ideas?

  looks like cyan and magenta. I would have scanned in black and white and converted each area into a separate BW image. Coloured in CMYK in Indesign and gone from there.

  most likely you'll need an icc profile from the paper manufacturer for the printer you have

  What paper are you using? Most paper manufacturers make profiles and also settings they recommend to print for Epson. This is true with Hahnemulle and Museo, and many more.

  The other thing you "could" do is invest on spectrometer by x-rite, or similar company, print a target, do the test, then you have a personalized test for your own printer. Maybe you know someone with the spectrometer and they can make a target for you.

  • Canson Rag Paper. Thanks, I'll check with them to see what's up.– cbass99
