Make ICCs with a Scanner

2005-11-27 by Paul Roark

I've put a tutorial on my website on how to make ICCs using Roy's "Create
ICC" program and a flatbed scanner.  

 

See  http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Making_B-W_ICCs.htm

 

Of course, a spectrophotometer is better, but I can't tell the difference in
the ICCs I've made so far.

 

My tutorial is aimed at the R220 and UT-R2 inks, but any B&W workflow that
prints from a grayscale file and through Photoshop or Elements could use
this system to linearize new papers or compensate for the paper and ink
batch differences.  I suspect all those using UT-FS & FSN with monotone
curves could use this approach as a substitute for the curves.  

 

There are so many different types of scanners out there that I'll be curious
what variations people run into.
