I haven't seen this at all and I've run a lot of profiles through both
applications using an EyeOne, DTP-41 and Spectroscan. The 288 target
produces identical results in either ProfileMaker Pro or EyeOne match with
one exception; the new 4.0 version of PMP has a newer gamut option that does
produce a wider gamut RGB output profile. That hasn't been updated in EyeOne
Match yet. You can take the spectral readings from EyeOne Match and run it
through PMP Pro to get this. If you use the standard gamut mapping, the two
applications produce identical results. In fact, there is only ONE RGB
output target (the 288) at this time. I am testing an extended target (900
patches) and find that to some devices, there is a slight benefit (for other
devices, none at all). That target only works with a Spectroscan at this
time.
As for other software, I have to assume you're talking about Profiler Pro. I
haven't seen this product produce more accurate neutrals to a number of RGB
devices I've tested. And that product makes you measure a LOT more patches.
Also, PMP Pro with the new gamut mapping (even the older one) produces the
cleanest saturated blue's of any package I've tested so far. No blue shifts
to magenta or cyan.
I've yet to try a package that produces an RGB profile that is as good with
the least number of patches as EyeOne Match/PMP Pro. And what's nice is both
products actually have a GUI!
As for CMYK, yes, EyeOne Match is fixed and I'm pretty sure it's the exact
same settings as the "default" parameters in PMP Pro which does a very good
job. Also, there are a number of CMYK options in EyeOne Match (you have to
tell the application what kind of CMYK device you are profiling). I don't
want people unfamiliar with this product to assume there is a single CMYK
setting for all devices. Once you pick say "Press" you get those fixed
default settings found for the same kind of output device in PMP Pro. You
need PMP Pro if you want to fine tune the sep parameters (and those controls
are quite robust). If a user has to really fine tune CMYK, they should look
at PMP Pro. For occasional CMYK use and certainly for RGB devices, EyeOne
Match will be fine.
