Hi Duane,
Thanks for your answer, I know that I'm on a difficult area and I
thing that I've to fix my problems step by step.
First try to find a way to have no more red cast when scanning a IT8
target print on paper with OBA. To try to have a good result with
color printing.
Any advise are welcome.
Then I'll dig more for my B&W/Color photos.
About QTR, Thanks for the advise, it is not the first time that I
ear that it is possible to print color with it. But I don't know
how, I'll dig more, try more.
About calibration device, I'm thinking about buying a PrintFix
package with its spectrocolormeter but I do not have enough
information about this device yet. I'm afraid to go for it and ear 2
month later "it is not the right tool, you should get this". It is
exactly the issue with my actual equipment.
Any feedback is welcome.
I don't what is PGP but I'll investigate.
You see Duane I'm still confident but know that it is a tough
journey. And Advise about ideal material
here I'm afraid by the
price.
Thanks and best regards
Daniel
