Re: Profiling permutations

2006-09-27 by bwinkjet

Hi Pierre,

You have the correct idea.
You do not choose intent when making the profile this is done 
afterward when printing. (You can print the test image in a ring a 
round with the different intents to see what difference it makes.  
But this is done with a single profile.)
Go ahead print the targets, allow to dry, and measure.  Then create a 
straight profile (without sliders), try it our and see where you 
are.  I usually use relative colorimetric with black point when 
printing unless I have a bunch of colors whice are out of gamut and 
then I will use perceptual.
Have fun

Paul
