Pink whites after profile created

Pink whites after profile created

2009-06-09 by Johnny Eades

As above, my new profile on my new printer has given all whites a pink/magenta tone. Do I need to recreate the complete profile or can I reopen the existing profile and make some changes to correct this anomaly?

Assuming that your targets were properly printed and accurately read, and assuming the issue is that NEAR whites are of a tone that isn't pleasing, or does not blend well with paper white, you can try a number of things to improve your results. One is to change the state of the "Absolute Grays" checkbox, and see if Paper Relative Grays suit you better. Next, you can try one of the presets, such as neutral plus or neutral minus, to make minor nudges to the neutrals. Beyond that, you would be on your own to make adjustments as you see fit.

[datacolor_group] traveling again...

2009-06-09 by CDTobie

I will be traveling (again) for the next week, so replies may not be as timely as I would like. Didn't slow me down too much last week, but I may not have convenient access this week; we'll see...
