Set the print quality to or Max Quality to enable fine micro-weaving of the ink droplets. Soft Proofing: Previewing the Extra Quality

When it comes to printing high-quality images, the right paper and ink combination are crucial. Agfa Photo Paper is renowned for its exceptional quality and versatility, making it a popular choice among photographers, graphic designers, and printers. To further enhance the printing experience, Agfa provides ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles for its photo papers, allowing users to unlock the full potential of their printing setup.

When printing on , the profile tells your printer exactly how to mix its ink to produce the correct color on that specific paper surface (matte, glossy, baryta, etc.). Because different papers absorb ink differently, a unique profile is required for each paper type to achieve maximum color gamut and accuracy. The "Extra Quality" Difference

The ability to achieve incredibly deep, rich blacks.

In the world of fine art printing and professional photography, the pursuit of "extra quality" is endless. You can own a 12-ink printer, a perfectly calibrated 4K monitor, and a $5,000 camera, but if the bridge between your screen and your print is broken, the results will be muddy, dark, and frustrating.

Having the profile is useless if you install it incorrectly. Follow this checklist for extra quality output.

Agfa has a long-standing reputation for precision in imaging technology, stretching from traditional film to modern industrial inkjet inks like the series. Their proprietary technology—such as the Colortune software—was historically used to create highly specialized ICC profiles that embedded private data tags for better control over ink jetting and batch-to-batch consistency.

This usually indicates double profiling. Double-check that your printer driver's color management is completely disabled.

Blues might appear purple, or skin tones may look overly orange.

Using the profile correctly is crucial. The goal is to let the application manage color, not the printer.

Even with a perfect profile, small details matter for that final level of quality.

One notable creator, , has released open-source "Agfa Emulation" profiles for the Epson P800 and P900. These are not Agfa’s originals, but they are often superior—fixing the OBA fading issues that plagued the 2014-era official profiles.
