Paul Roark provides some profiles for UT14 on various papers. I'm not sure quite what they all are; but I should figure out which ones I'm interested in.
I think "N" means a neutral profile. Not sure what "cc2" or "nca" mean.
PremierArt Smooth BW Fine Art (1400-Eb6-PA-SmBW200-cc22.icc)
A matte paper.
Hahnemühle Photo Rag (1400-UT14-HPR-N-1-cc22-rgb.icc)
Hahnemühle Photo Rag. There's a lot of variants of this, matte and glossy, so which one is this?
Ilford Gold Fibre Silk (1400-IlfordGold-N-1-nca-rgb.icc, 1400-UT14-IlfordGold-LW-Warm-rgb.icc, 1400-UT14-IlfordGold-Warm-1-nca-rgb.icc)
A glossy baryta paper; neutral, warm, and I'm guessing "LW-Warm" is "like LensWork".
Kirkland glossy (1400-UT14-Kirkland-Glossy-N-1-NCA-rgb.icc, 1400-UT14-Kirkland-Glossy-Warm-1-nca-rgb.icc, 1400-UT14-Kirkland-LensWorkWarm-rgb.icc)
Kirkland Signature is Costco's house brand. Neutral, warm, and "like LensWork" profiles. I bet this is inexpensive and good enough to make nice test prints on.
1400-UT14-UltraPremGlossPP-N-1-rgb.icc
Not sure what this is.
It also includes a set of saved curves:
- UT14-Gloss-N-4.acv
- UT14-HPR-WARM-1.acv
- UT14-IlfordGold-LW-Warm.acv
- UT14-IlfordGold-N-1.acv
- UT14-Kirk-Glossy-W-1.acv
- UT14-Kirkland-Gloss-N-1.acv
- UT14-Matte-N-1.acv
- UT14-Warm-1-MHW.acv
- UT14-Warm-2-MHW.acv
I guess these match the profiles listed above.
I have some samples of Hahnemühle Photo Rag and Ilford Galerie Gold Fiber Silk,
but I haven't checked out the other papers yet. I shall have to - particularly
the glossy ones, since I really like Harman Gloss FB Al. I have two Harman
prints in my living room and I like them a lot. But printing on them apparently
takes some work - Roark mentions it's not for the novice. So, baby
steps at first. I think I'll spend a little time with this picture while I'm
using up the color inks the printer will ship with:
