Re: [datacolor_group] Profiling canvas

2010-01-10 by Bob Petruska

Thanks,

This is a matte finish canvas.

I'll do the measurements on the canvas test prints.

I just didn't want to waste too many pricey canvas prints in getting to my final profile.

That depends on the coating; some are gloss, others are matte, some have a reduced gamut, or low d-max, and require some editing for most pleasing results.

Typically it's fine. Picky users may choose to read twice, and average the measurement sets. Increasing the saturation a bit can help compensate for texture. If you are going to coat the canvas, doing that to the target prints before measuring makes sense.

Or should I just use a matte finish paper that has a close white
match measured value using the colorimeter?
