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 know the profiles are good because I can turn them off in the RIP
and do a Profile to Profile in Photoshop and then output to the Kodak
with good results.
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.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
