Tyler, I went back to Carl Schofield's site and downloaded the profiles (thank you, Carl). I did a quick test with a previously printed TIFF (grayscale/8 bit/) and chose the HPR-UCEB-SEPIA profile, even though this image was printed on Ilford Perl I know colour management purists are grinding their teeth, but this was just a quick test. The resulting proof is actually pretty accurate when compared to the print! Is this normal? The black ink is not the same, the paper is not the same, but its accurate Go wonder Another thing: there is no change if I open the file with an assigned profile of 2.2 gray gamma or 20% dot gain . The soft proof looks exactly the same. Go wonder again Does anyone have similar profiles for Ilford Perl paper with UC black ink? Maybe theyll look different :-) José -----Original Message----- From: Tyler Boley [mailto:tyler@...] Sent: vendredi, 7. janvier 2005 03:50 To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Soft proofing profiles for QTR (Win XP) ? You can also do the custom gray space soft proof thingy by eye, and for free. Also, I imagine there are plenty of members on this list with an EyeOne that would be happy to linearize your QTR output, and make you a preview profile. Worth asking, might have to pay some small fee. Or, if you work in Roy's custom LAB gray space, you may get a very good match without any softproof method at all. Or, perhaps you can use Roy's LAB space as the softproof space. Roy? Tyler --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, <jm-ferreira@b...> wrote: > Lou, > > > > Thanks for the info !
