I loaded two profiles I created with my lovely Spectrocam into a
Harlequin RIP running a Kodak DCP9500 last week. The input profile
is of a Dupont Waterproof system and the output is of the Kodak. It
took me awhile to sort all this out on this blasted PC, but so far
so good. The Harlequin allows me to select the rendering intent of
the profiles when I "install" them. The problem is that no matter
what rendering intent I choose for the Kodak profile, the output
looks exactly the same. It's much too white--light grays dropping
out entirely and colors looking much light. I went back and edited
the profile to darken it, loaded it back in, and no difference! So I
did the same thing again but this time darkened it drastically to
see what would happen and again--no difference! It's as though the
Harlequin is using the input profile, but ignoring the output
profile or at least ignoring certain attributes of it.
I was going to see if a DeviceLink profile would do better since the
RIP accepts them, but the DL profile I created was 8 megs and I had
no way of transferring the file to the PC while I was there.
Try creating the device link profile with a different CMM than the
one you are using now. I have found a bug in one of the stock
ColorSync CMM's (I can't remember which one right now) where it would
build huge corrupted link profiles - (like that bad teleport at the
end of the newer version of "The Fly" where brundle-fly gets pretty
messed up)
