Greetings all,
I have just posted 9 profiles build on the standard SWOP TR001
dataset to profilecentral.com
The TR001 data set is one of the most accurate SWOP data sets
produced to date. The data were collected using multiple measuring
devices from a SWOP-compliant press run in 1993.
After some deliberation I produced the profiles based on the
following settings.
- Black level (max black): 90
- Black generation: UCR, Light GCR, and Medium GCR
- TAC (Total area coverage or "ink limit"): 280, 300, 320
The profiles are available individually or in 3 packages (for 280,
300, and 320 levels). If these do not cover enough possibilities I
could be persuaded to create additional profiles with different
parameters.
These profiles are offered free of charge to the color management
community. Please give them a try and then send us your feedback.
They are suitable for RGB to CMYK conversions as well as proofing
CMYK on screen or a printer. You should find that they all produce
the same proofing effect and you need only download the different
flavors for the purposes of creating different separations. If you
unsure which set to use I would suggest the 300 set.
I have received some feedback concerning conforming to the new ICC
spec as well as the CGATS.12/1
(PDF/X-1) header characterization data identification. I am eager to
conform to both of these standards and will be update the profiles
some time in the future. I will be in contact with the specific
parties concerning these standards.
I hope you are able to find these profiles useful.
