I just got some exhibition fiber paper, downloaded the ICC profile from the Epson web site but I cannot get it to install in Win 7.
Anyone else have this issue or know of other ways to make it work?
The epson site sends one to the Pixel Genius site for the profile but there is a CS4 issue.

I've had no problems installing profiles in win 7,
just right click on them and choose install profile. Then they should show up in any software that can work with them.

I am not getting the option to install the profile when I right click.

hmm, that is strange,
what if you simply copy/paste the profile in the "C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\" directory?
that should also work.

thanks for the tip. I was able to manually load the ICC profile into the C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\" directory but the exhibition fiber paper does not show up as a choice in the paper choices. I also downloaded the profile onto a Win XP laptop and found the same situation. closest paper is an ultra premium luster
It is possible the profile you downloaded is corrupted. Turn off your virus protection program and your firewall and then downlaod the profile again. Try to install it....
Delete the old profile in ...\Spool\Drivers\Color. Manually copy the new download to ...\Spool\Drivers\Color. Right Click on the file. Choose 'Install'.
Hi David,
One unlikely possibility is that the profile has a different "internal" name than the external file name. The internal name is what shows up when you're dropping down a list of your profiles in Photoshop. Usually these two names are identical, but it's possible to get a profile where they are different.
Also, you mention not finding the profile among the paper choices. Are you looking in your printer driver media settings for your printer profile? While printer profile names do include abbreviations for the paper they are made for, installing a printer profile does not have anything to do with the driver's list of available paper settings. You should expect to find your profile in Photoshop's printer dialog box under "Printer Profile:"

Now, see if the paper is available.
