Booksmart Studio works with Canson-Infinity to beta test and generate generic ICC Profiles on their 17 new papers & canvas
Generic ICC profiles for new line of paper were created by our studio
Booksmart Studio and Canson-Infinity worked together to create a full-line of ICC profiles for 17 new inkjet papers that they have recently released. These new papers are the largest launch any single paper company has announced since the beginning of inkjet technology. Canson-Infinity’s 17 papers do not utilize optical brighteners to keep consistent whites or brighten the cotton fibers. Instead, they are utilizing minerals & pigments in the preparation of the paper rather than in the coating process.
Booksmart Studio created profiles for the full-line of Canon, Epson, & HP printers for Canson-Infinity to provide to their customers. These profiles are available in our ICC Profile Library along with Canson-Infinity’s website.
Version 2.0 Website is officially launched.
Booksmart Studio has released Version 2.0 of our website. The new website allows for easy integration of our main site, printing, & store website along with our Blog & wiki space. Our big push is to make our website a truly universal informative website, allowing our customers and participants to interact with one another. Our customers will be able to post imagery in our on-line gallery communicate with one each other on our Blog & Wiki space. In the end, we hope users will find all of the information one needs to make their digital art & photography.
New website version 2.0 coming 6/10/08

We apologize for this inconvenience as we look to improve your web experience and invite you to check back June 10th, 2008.
