RE: [Digital BW] ICC Soft Proofing -- The issue . . .

2005-10-25 by John Moody

I don't see any profiles that allow simulate paper color without simulate
black ink unless they don't have a bkpt tag, so its moot.  Am I missing
something?
An interesting example is SPR2400 ProofingSemimatte.icm which does not have
a bkpt tag, yet SPR2400 PremSmgls PhotoRPM.icc does.

Does that suggest Epson knows most people don't want to simulate paper black
while softproofing?  If any profile were to be used for softproofing, I
would think ProofingSemimatte would be it.

Best regards,
John Moody

Yes but I think the thing we don't understand is why some profiles allow
these operations and others don't. That is we need, ideally, to figure out
what PS grabs from the ICC profile.
