Digital BW, The Print

Peter,

It is Profiler Pro. Tyler says there is some Gretag software that will do it
too but that the cost of the software is huge. I don't know of anyone
profiling quads to order. I am not sure that the Profile Pro license allows
for that or not.

The profile I am using for VM inks on Photo Rag was done from a 727 patch
test target measured with a Spectrocam.

Read Dan Culbertson's RGB Soft Proof method on the Lincoln Inks website. I
believe Dan switched from CYMK with a PressReady RIP to this method. Dan and
Tyler started with the MIS inks and CYMK curves way back in the beginning of
quad inks. '98? '99?

If you search back near the beginning of this list you can see where I was
picking Tyler's and Dan's brains. In the Files section you can find Tyler's
description of this workflow for Piezo inks with PressReady and CYMK
separation curves.

Martin,
Do you recall an exchange you had with Tyler Boley quite a while ago about
profiling quad inksets? If I remember correctly there was one profiling
package that wasn't thrown for a loop by an all-gray target. Was it Profiler
Pro? Do you know of someone profiling quads to order?
I've had enough good experiences with Pressready and both the MIS-VM and
MIS-FS inks now that I think I'd like to get a couple of profiles made to
see if that improves screen-to-print relationships. I made a
DTP-22/swatchbook/Photoshop "profile" that at least gets into the
ballparkSbut something more than 8 swatches would probably be preferable.
thanks
Peter
