They are not in the Printer Support section. That would have been too easy. If this link expires, they are in the ANNOUNCEMENTS section.
Thanks Roger Cavanagh for letting us know they were out.

I just downloaded them last night after I saw Roger Cavanagh's post. I haven't unpacked them yet. I hope to try them out this rainy weekend.

Any of you chaps know if the Advanced Matte is what we call the Archival Matte. Why cant they call things the same either side of the Atlantic?

I prefer to call myself a cynical realist. Life sucks, then you die.
I'll post some comments on the new profiles by monday.
Regards,

I'm sorry to say that after testing the new profiles for the Epson Premium Glossy Paper, the new ICC profiles are inferior to the original ones. There is a yellowish cast to skin tones and whites, particularly near and in shadow areas, and a loss of detail in hair. Whites in general have a yellow cast. I then checked the RobGalbraith Forum and found that people there were disatisfied with the new profiles for similiar reasons.

Thanks for the update Scott, - just as well the existing profiles have been giving me good results!
