Hi,

I was working with print fix pro and tried my hand at creating color profile for offset. I could follow the below process to get a resonably good profile.

I used Photoshop for creating profile. After reading patches of 100% color of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Red, Green, Blue, CMY and paper white, I noted down the Lab values using print fix pro.After this i read the lab values of 50% c, m, y and k. After that i used the spreadsheet from www.brucelindbloom.com for calculating dot gain using lab values.

We plug the lab values in custom ink dialog box of photoshop. and we put the dot gain values in their respective boxes in dot gain column.

Then we save this cmyk setup, which is saved as a profile.

Am i missing something more or am i wrong in this?
