Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bob,

I agree that there are some gremlins involved here. I do use PS CC, so hopefully that eliminates that potential issue. However, I did notice last night that when I duplicated an image for soft-proofing it was not an exact match. Probably 95% or better match, but I could tell in certain areas of the image that there was enough of a difference that I could discern it. Trying to get that image to match was very time consuming and practically impossible for me to do. Am I missing something here? When you duplicate something and place it side-by-side, should it not be an exact match?

Jim

Hi,

I've just sold a used R2400 to a Mac owner, and he can't get B&W  prints 
without a magenta color cast, no matter what profile he uses. No casts with 
my Windows setups and the same paper profiles. Has ColorSync got more 
gremlins in it? But if you are using Photoshop, that should avoid any 
colorsync problems, shouldn't it? Is it a genuine printer profile, or an 
Apple modified one? Just a few thoughts, as we've been scratching our heads 
for two weeks on this problem.

Thank you for your response. I just had ColorHQ redo my profiles and just 
assumed that they were good. However, I have changed just about everything I 
have to get better matches, both for color and B and W and I am still not 
where I need to be. I have a new Eizo that is very well calibrated, I have a 
new iMac and I have gone from CS6 to PS CC. So, perhaps I need to have the 
profiles done again.
