Build ICC profile online

My offer

I offer ICC profile building service for printing systems. The service is:

A fee‐based online service, 50 USD excl. VAT. 15 days money-back guarantee.
You don’t need a colorimeter. Just a flatbed photo scanner.
You’ll get an evaluation PDF before you pay. You can print the PDF and inspect the result. No need to pay if you are not satisfied with the quality.
You can freely redistribute your ICC profile.

What you need at hand:

A flatbed photo scanner.
A printing system that can print PDF. Adobe Acrobat Reader or Acrobat is recommended.
Your email address. Zygomatic Color takes ten minutes to calculate. I’ll notify you when the evaluation PDF (and the purchase button) is ready.

Optional:

Macbeth chart (X-Rite ColorChecker Classic) or SpyderCHECKR 24. Don’t touch rip-off! Buy genuine.

You have to spend:

One sheet of 8″ × 10″ paper. I assume the printing margin is 5 mm (3/16″) for all edges. Larger sheets (Letter, A4, etc.) are of course welcome. If you don’t have a large enough sheet, go to here: For 4″ × 6″ paper - Build ICC profile online
Ink :-)
About ten minutes of work, excluding the inspection of evaluation PDF.

You have to set up:

Print PDF without color management / adjustment. It requires careful eyes. Look carefully at the configuration dialog box!

Configuration

Now let’s start to build your ICC profile now.
