Re: good prints, bad soft proof

2008-01-21 by boborlehanneton

that's all that I can do for the moment because I'm not at home until
friday. You can see what is the problem with cyan with the measures.
This must confirm your opinion about a device issue.

The measure of the paper after calibration on the base is Lab:
(99.31,-0.28,-100.26)

I will clean the spectro this WE but I cleaned it before the
calibration (without alcohol).


I tried the ref black (automatic) but contrast is still bad in soft
proof. It is perhaps linked to the spectro issue but the prints are good.
