I would like to download ICC for my Canon papers, I'm using lightroom with an Epson 3880Pro printer.

Can anyone tell me how I can download an ICC profile for Canon papers

The only way you will get ICC profiles for Canon papers and Epson printers is to create custom profiles yourself or perhaps Google online. Possible sources would be where someone else has created profiles and will share them. Try DPReview.com or Fredmiranda.com and ask in the printer forums.

Thanks John,

I will try this but fail to understand why it should be so difficult.

I will try those 2 sites now.

Unlike paper manufacturers, who need to provide ICC profiles for many different printers so they can sell their papers, both Canon and Epson sell printers and their own branded paper. They have no need to provide a way to print Epson paper on their printers and vice versa.
