Create RGB ICC Issues

2014-03-12 by <homershannon@...>

I have developed some curves that allow me to use the UT14 ink set with gloss and satin papers. The curves work well enough but I would like to run them through the QTR Create RGB ICC tool and simplify the process of using the curve by embedding them in an ICC.

I followed the instructions in Paul Roark's document http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Embedding_Photoshop_Curves_in_ICCs.pdf carefully. But, the ICCs I get consistently print images that are too dark and the coloration is not right. The link http://1drv.ms/1fUtOs1 will take you to a scan of ramps I have printed. The next to last on the bottom is the ramp from a curve that I want to embed. The last ramp is the print using the .ICC created with the curve and the LAB values for the ramp above. (Note that the ramps does not show LAB values, but I remeasured it again and used LAB for the create ICC tool.)

What am I missing that causes the resulting ICCs to be so far off their mark?
