Digital BW, The Print

Hi all, quick question:

I'm a long time IJC/OPM user, but I'm getting the feeling they aren't going to be supporting future Epson printers (and I'd like to print directly from apps like InDesign). Is it reasonably easy to linearize an existing QTR profile with a densitometer? Or do I need to get a spectrophotometer?

Thanks!

Jon

If you have a reflective densitometer and can calculate the lab values, then yep. It would work. You just need to add the right headers for the Lin data program to crunch the numbers.

Generally I do two lins. One in the curve and one that you build into an ICC profile that you use from Photoshop.
