Re: [Digital BW] New LCD monitor for color/photo professionals

2005-03-18 by Bob Frost

Steve,

If you upload your Cinema profile and your printer profile to 
http://www.iccview.de/index_eng.htm
you will get a straightforward 3D comparison of the two and you will be able 
to see if any of the printer colors are outside your Cinema's capabilities.

I was surprised at the limited gamut of my Formac Gallery 20 lcd, compared 
with my Artisan.

Using the ICCview site above, I can see that a 2200/2100 printing on Premium 
Semigloss with UC can print colors outside my Formac profile, and indeed 
some colors outside even Adobe98!

You might be in for a surprise!

Bob Frost.

I understand the argument in theory but if adobe RGB > inkjet > press then a
monitor that can do Adobe RGB is rather pointless.  I guess it hinges on
whether monitor > inkjet (if inkjet > press).  I use an Eye-One but don't
think that can "display" a profile let alone show the difference between two
profiles.  I guess I can see the differences on any actual image by
converting to my colour print space, showing gamut warning and using
absolute colormetric rendering for a proof to the monitor space.  I very
much doubt there is anything I can print that can't be displayed on my Apple
Cinema Display.
