Agfa-Gevaert N.V. has been a cornerstone of photographic materials since the 19th century, transitioning from analog silver-halide papers to digital inkjet media. A critical component of achieving predictable, high-quality output on Agfa photo papers is the use of International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles. This paper provides a comprehensive review of ICC profiles for Agfa photo papers, examining their historical evolution, the technical challenges posed by Agfa’s diverse paper surfaces (e.g., baryta, RC, cotton rag), the distinction between generic and custom profiles, and best practices for implementation in color-managed workflows. Findings indicate that while Agfa provides serviceable generic profiles, the unique optical brighteners and surface topographies of papers like the Agfa Prestige and Agfa Signature lines necessitate custom profiling for professional results.
