Soft proofing oddity
2006-03-15 by Brian Smith
Hi, joined today! I just got my printfix pro suite 9 hours ago and I've successfully calibrated my monitor and done a printer profile for epson archival matte on an epson 2100. Prints are looking great, better shadows than epson's profiles I think, better saturation than using epson's profiles. The prints match the screen, job done. One strangeness though. I have been using PS CS2 soft proofing for some time and, using the epson profiles, there was good agreement between the soft proof and final print. Using the profile I just generated, which as I said is giving great results, the soft proofs are weird. They are desaturated and hugely too light ie light flat shadows. They don't look anything like the print produced. Does this make any sense?
