Is there a profile for the Metallic paper?

jcdill

I need to order a batch of enlargements on Metallic paper. When I test ordered some prints in all 4 finishes (Glossy, Lustre, Matte, Metallic) from EM when Metallic was first offered from EM, there was a very noticeable difference in the images from one lab (on the 3 standard papers) and the other lab (on the metallic paper). AFAIK, the lab EM uses for the Metallic prints doesn't provide profiles. (boo... hisss)

I need to avoid this problem by using a profiled monitor and proofing with the paper/printer profile, so that the images come out as expected based on preparing them and presenting them with a profiled workflow.

If you don't have a profile, I'll need to get them printed locally, where if they don't match I can have them reprinted immediately and not wait for shipping, pay extra for overnight delivery, if they still don't match then rinse, repeat.

Ping - can someone tell me if there is a profile for Metallic paper, and if so where to find it?
