Take a look at what clients say about my custom printer profiles and the service I provide…
“Rick, …The profiles are perfect! Thanks for the quick turnaround.” –Roger B., 11/09/2011
“Aloha Rick, I cannot thank you enough. I’ve been trying… to figure out color management for [my] new printer [Epson 9900, working on Mac OSX 10.7 with Photoshop CS5]. Anyhow, after frustrating Google searches and reading, reading, reading… finally I must have asked the right question in the search bar because I found your page. And dang, if [your solution] didn’t just work PERFECTLY!!!! If you’re ever on the Big Island, Hawaii… do look us up cuz we’re buying you and yours dinner! Huge mahalos (thanks) from a lovely rainforest in Hawaii!” –Karen K., 11/04/2011
“Hi Rick, GREAT success! Your new profiles are giving me the best photos I have ever been able to produce. Thanks very much for your patience in helping me.” –Tom B., 10/24/2011
“Hi Rick, The profile made a huge difference for the better. The most noticeable change is in gray tones and improved contrast. Worth every penny! Thanks…” –Henry G., 9/21/2011
“WOW! Rick, the profiles look amazing! Finally my Epson Pro 4000 is revealing its true potential! The greys are almost perfectly neutral all the way through the scale, the colors are rich, the blacks are deep, and there is a lot of detail in all three profiles. I think the colorful one is my favorite. Thanks again Rick! –Greg W., 9/09/2011
“Thanks, Rick. Your superior customer service is greatly appreciated.” –Glen M., 9/06/2011
“I downloaded the profiles and ran some prints today. They look stupendous on the Premium Luster paper. Thanks for everything.” –Mike B., 8/30/2011
“Hi Rick: profile works great. Unworkable results before – the result of new OS system and 3rd party inks I think, but could not get anything close to neutrals. In fact everything seemed so far off, I was doubtful a profile could fix it. thanks again.” –Carl Z., 7/11/2011
“Rick, Thanks so much for rushing this. Profiles seem to be working out fine and in time for my show this weekend.” –Will K., 4/26/2011

“Rick, Thank you for your advice and keeping our dialogue open… Thanks again for all your help!” –Mike B., 11/15/2010
“Rick, The new profiles you created work well… a definite improvement over the generic profiles that came with my SP 7900 printer…Thank you for all of your help with this. I’m sure I will be ordering additional profiles from you in the near future.” –Jean-Louis M., 8/30/2010
“Hello Rick! I have stumbled upon your site and work and read all your articles. You seem to know your subject!” –Dan McK., 8/04/2010
“With your profiles, when compared, my prints got the punch they were missing. I should contact you soon for profiles, again! Thank you!” –José M., 8/02/2010
“Ok, I couldn’t wait., I went home for lunch and instead of eating, I played. I loaded the profiles and the difference is not subtle. Awesome is more appropriate. All three profiles blew away my canned profile from Epson. I never would have believed it had I not done it myself. It’s pretty silly that I’ll spend 6 grand on a birding lens and then hem & haw about having a $25 profile made….how stupid is that! Great job on the profiles, thanks for your quick reply to the initial issues!” –George B., 7/29/2010
“Hi Rick, I’ve changed from Epson ink to MIS pro ink and I’m delighted to say that the MIS pro ink[s] with your profiles look better than my Epson inks with their standard profiles ever did. Great web site & very clear instructions btw. Many thanks…” –Simon W., 3/25/2010
“Good Afternoon Rick! Your profiles have been great… Colorwise better than ANY “canned” profiles by Epson/ Red River/ Lyson INK2 IMAGE…THX for the good Job!..” –Eddie W., 8/18/2009
“Rick, just ran your [Advanced] B/W profile… looks great!” –Tony D., 8/5/2009
“Rick, Thank you for the profiles! The timing was perfect, I was able to do a sample 11×14 printout of a photo taken at a swim meet yesterday, which led to several people signing up to get prints.” –Michael B., 7/26/2009
“Rick, thanks for your quick turnaround. I printed a photo using your ‘colorful’, as well as your ‘chroma’ profiles and the results look great. Your instructions were very helpful, and could not have been written any better. Thanks again for your service.” –Rafael C., 7/16/2009
“Hello Rick, Just to let you know that my custom profiles that you just made for me have been working wonderful!!! My prints using Hahnemuhle ICC profiles came out really good. But using the custom profiles that you provided me, they have been outstanding. I haven’t tried yet your B/W profile, but I [feel confident] it won’t be any problem. Thank you, and for sure I’m going to ask you to make more custom profiles for me.” –Carlos R., 7/15/2009

Posted on DPReview Forums, 6/20/2009: “In the hope this may help others who are looking, I thought it worthwhile to mention the 3 printer profiles I recently had done are outstanding (all tested using Andrew Rodney’s printer test file on an Epson 2880) and delivered the same day as they were received. Plus great communication. I feel whenever we get excellent service and product it is worth passing on to other enthusiasts. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1003&message=32193431&q
“Your comments on your web site on [the problem of printing the target image with Lightroom] are informative and concise.” –Ed K., 6/20/2009
“Hi Rick, Wow – that is what anybody would call fast delivery!! Downloaded and installed. Took the day off and have run printer test files on all the profiles, all printing with LR. I used “Colorful” but will play with the others depending on subject. Absolutely excellent!! I then processed a couple of personal files, one colour and converted another to B&W with Silver Efex. Again bang on. The “Advanced B&W Photo” will be good as you can play a bit with the settings. Really appreciate the great service and expertise Rick.” –Ed K., 6/18/2009
“Hi Rick. Your suggestion worked. Now I understand everything. Thanks for your help and quick response. I rechecked all of my settings and everything is in agreement with your instructions which are very straightforward.” –Albert S., 6/15/2009

Posted on DPReview Forums, 2/07/2009: “Check out www.profilesbyrick.com — I tried this service a few months ago. His workflow is very similar to Cathy’s. I think he may even use the same equipment. His prices are good. I got excellent results, with prompt delivery and solid help on the phone. I will go there again for my next custom profile. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1003&message=30929797&q
“I been having great success with the profile that you sent me for the watercolor paper. I sure appreciate the time that you spent on the project and am looking forward to sending you some insane type of media to scan in the future. Thanks again.” –Michael S., 12/11/2008
