Hi,

I just purchased an Epson Sure Color P800 and am testing out the Entrada Rag Textured 300 and the Rag Bright 300. I downloaded the color profiles but can I use them in Adobe Illustrator? I am a stationery designer and I work mostly in Illustrator, as I am dealing mostly with vectors. I keep seeing information about using color profiles in Photoshop, but not Illustrator. Is it possible? If so, how do I set it up in Illustrator?

Printing from Illustrator using ICC profiles is a nearly identical process to printing from Photoshop, here are the steps:

In the Illustrator print window, select the 'Color Management' section. For Color Handling select 'Let Illustrator determine colors'. For Printer Profile, select the ICC profile for the Moab paper you are using. For Rendering intent, use Relative Colorimetric or Perceptual.

Click Setup to access the print settings. In the Color Matching tab, select Epson Color Controls.
In the Printer Settings tab, select the appropriate media type (listed on the ICC profile download page) for the Moab paper you are using. Under Color Mode, select 'Off (No Color Management)'.

These settings should produce accurate prints from your illustrator files.
