Am am looking for a recommendation for a CMYK workflow. I am running the
BestColor RIP with an Epson 10000CF and would like to know others success
using this as a proofing device. We are trying to establish a standard
in-house workflow for conversion and proofing to take care of our first
round color that we can then send to multiple printing companies and get
consistent results.
On a related note. When separating to CMYK should the profile used for
separation also be used as the reference for proofing? Or should a
conversion be taking place from the color space of the file to the
simulation or reference profile used on the output device? Lets take for
instance the U.S. Sheetfed Coated profile that photoshop uses. If I were to
separate using this profile but then used the BestRef5 Profile as the
reference on the Bestcolor, should there be a conversion between these two
profiles in order to avoid a mismatch?
There seems to be so many ways to convert and so many references for
proofing. What I am looking for is a solid starting point that will allow me
to create a good separation and a good proof that most any printing company
can match on their proofing system and press.
Thanks for any help you may provide.
