RE: [Digital BW] more colorbase misc.

2005-10-04 by John Moody

I'll would hope the Epson profiles were made with way more patches than the
IT9.18 chart.  Colorbase allows you to calibrate your printer to work with
those Epson profiles; that is useful.
If you create a profile for third party paper using a large target (2500+
patches) Colorbase will keep the printer in calibration without redoing the
large targets; that is useful.
It remains to be seen, but the gamut may not be chopped off as much as the
typical difference between color controls and no-color-adjustment when
creating a custom profile; that would be useful.
But, as you say, Roy's tools make Colorbase essentially useless for BW.

Best regards,
John Moody

Agreed. This is a production house simplification module not a single-user
output enhancement.
