Chris Hardy is staff photographer the Padres and uses a Fuji Pictrography 4500 and Epson 7800 for output. The San Diego Padres are a long time client of ours. Here is the profile I built for the 4500 on Fuji Glossy if anyone cares to test it or use it in their system. 1-PG4500-Glossy.icc

The real story is in the path it took to get there - just to make a profile. Chis updated his Dual G4 to Leopard and his Adaptec AHA 2930CU SCSI card which is his primary connection to the Pictrography 4500 lost it’s driver. Because Chris did a complete reinstall of Leopard, the SCSI driver was not installed and destroyed. Unfortunately Adaptec stopped supporting the Mac OX with their SCSI Adapters long ago - so a quick check on the website led me into a dark corner. Luckily a google search of “Adaptec AHA 2030cu Driver for 10.5″ yielded this Adaptec driver from Version Tracker and it worked!

Another mystery solved! Thanks Chris for lunch and your continued support and we will see you next time! I have a good feeling about the Padres this year!

Our agency is completely color managed and I teach this stuff for a living for X-Rite, and HP. Here is my take on all of it. Before we begin - color is and will always be subjected to the individual observer and your viewing conditions - geeky I know, but it had to be said. Read More…
