Profile Maker 5 dilemma. Am trying to match our Creo Spectrum proofs to several of our customer's supplied proofs, which is an ongoing process.
Am currently color correcting in Photoshop to achieve this. I would like to profile our customer's proofing systems so that I could at least start out
in the ball park. We already have a Spectrolina, so that is not a problem. I am trying to keep the price of the software and training at a level that will
be acceptable to the powers that be.

My questions are:
Is training absolutely necessary?  
After ready the manual, the Links module seems to be the most applicable to my problem but it is expensive. Can I match proofer to proofer without it?


If you can have your customer supply you with a profiling chart proofed on their system, you could build a profile of their system. After you have their profile, the workflow would be to ASSIGN this profile to their image(s) and then CONVERT to a profile of your Creo Spectrum. That should get you a Spectrum proof that matches their proof. Keep in mind that this will be altering the CMYK values in their originals but you're already doing that anyway if you're manually color-correcting their images.

If you need to convert whole pages/jobs and not just images, you might need to incorporate your customer's profile into your Creo workflow through the use of device link profiles (device link would be from their profile to your Spectrum).
