Craig - You've written one of the best explanations of color management that I've ever seen. I was under the impression that I understood it pretty well; you illuminated a few things I wasn't even aware of. Thank you!
I have, however, one quibble - and I think it's a major one. You need to use buzzwords! Let me explain... Reading a sentence that contains both the word "gamut" and the phrase "out of gamut color" - without hyphenation or any other indication that "out of gamut" is a coordinated phrase - was confusing for me, and English is my first language. The original poster, I gather, is not a native English speaker... Also, you use the word "printer" to refer both to the device and to the guy who runs the press. For clarity, I'd refer to the guy as a "print shop," although it risks robbing him of his individuality. So at the risk of sounding like an officious busybody, may I suggest (and request) that you re-post with a few edits? I know that phrases like "out-of-gamut" and "on-screen" are bad style and ugly too, but I suspect that your excellent explanation would be made more useful to the original poster. As an alternative, you could do something like this: ... OOG (out of gamut) colors... and then use OOG thereafter. Again, thanks for the excellent post! And sorry for quibbling. -- www.fsrtechnologies.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
