Hi,
I have set up some tests, and they look well but I want to double check if I can improve them.
I work/print in black&white, so greyscale mode.
So I have done this:
I made an emulation ICC profile
I didn't check the 'preserve RGB numbers' option
I choose 'perceptual' for rendering intent
Then I created a new target
I have set the brightness as low as possible (to match the matte paper) > I have set it to 60 cd/m² > If I want to go lower I get a message > Which brightness setting is the best??
I have set the white point to 5500K "daylight temp' > because my "lighting booth" (Kino Flo lamp = 5500K) (By the way, I have some questions about the use of this booth too)
I have set the target black level to the minimum (is this the right value?)
I have set the priority to 'gray balance' (not sure if I should better choose 'standard' or 'contrast'.
Soft proofing is of course possible in Photoshop, but as I see it now, it seems to be much more effective by adjusting the monitor (low brightness, exact white point, ...), and the ICC profile emulation seems to working well.
(but still it is not completely configured well if I compare the prints with the monitor > is this possible anyway?)
Thank you for your help and advice.

Hi Ben,
Could you precise what kinds of settings disturb you ?

Hi,
Has anyone -advanced- experience with setting up soft proofing for
black&;white printing by using ColorNavigator for Eizo Coloredge monitors?
I tried to set up some targets/emulation profiles for printing on matte
paper (Canson Rag Photographique), but I am still in doubt about some
settings.
Thank you,
Ben
