[Leica] Help! Lost Epson ICC profiles

Wed Nov 4 14:57:07 PST 2020

Now. Backup. Backup. Keep a backup next to the computer.
Another question:
Is the paper no longer sold? You said that the profiles were no longer
available from the paper websites.
What paper will you switch to when you run out?
Cheers!
Wayne
