BO Semi-gloss workflow and profiles

2004-01-09 by Carl Schofield

I've put the workflow I'm currently using for BO prints on Epson 
Premium Semi-gloss, using the Epson 2200 printer and MIS Eboni K, and a 
couple of the BO softproof profiles in an archive (in the BO Printing 
folder) on my file sharing site:

The workflow is primarily based on Clayton Jones's procedures for 
printing BO, Paul Roark's reports and procedures for coating semi-gloss 
with PremierArt Print Shield, and Keith Krebs's  suggestions for 
printing BO on Oriental FB paper.  The softproof profiles (for Epson 
Premium Semi-gloss and Epson Enhanced Matte) were created by scanning 
grayscale step wedges with an eye-one spectrophotometer, converting the 
density data to dot percent values using Martin Wesley's spreadsheet 
(in list files), and then creating the profiles with these data using 
the procedure described by Tyler Boley (also in list files).
