>In 3-4 years printer profiling we have found different. You can and must <calibrate> a printer, that's what we are doing when selecting from different options (like media types) in the manufacturer's driver, they linearised/calibrated the printer to work well with their own papers/inks, sometime they got it right! I hadn't thought of that as calibrating in the past, but I see what you mean. Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll adjust my language. >with a good RIP you really can calibrate, we call that calibration a <linearisation> in printers. Have you found that a good RIP with say the Epson 7600 surpases the quality of a non-RIP workflow using top-end profiles? Curious. I've heard this argued both ways. I'm using GM ProfilerMaker Pro 4.1.5. I looked at RIPs in the past but elected to go the GM profile way. >and get the printer settings right too, it's is a not at all trivial part of the process. have a read of http://www.colourmanagement.net/profiling_inkjets.html and download the colourmanagement.net RGB profiling kit v.5,x which contains an extensive manual. I'll have a gander. Thanks for the link. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
