Somewhat I have the impression this can be done. There's a certain
scanner that only scans in CMYK or in a non-specified RGB (limitation of
it's software). The user is enormously accustomed (and pleased) with it's
separation tables/algorithms.
There's also a new scanner, fully ICC compliant; but no profile I've made
or used (including the Adobe ones and Linocolor's ones) has been a match
(from his point of view) to the color he gets from the older scanner.
Basically, that's his company's "color flavour" so to say, in that the
"look" has to be mantained between the previously scanned transparencies
and the new ones.
So I'd like to make an output CMYK profile that matches as close as
possible the separation/colors from his old scanner.
How is this accomplished?
I was under the impression that some scanner profiling softwares were
able to do "CMYK scanner profiles". Which ones?
Will such a profile serve as an output profile?
Or is there another way? there ought to be...
kind regards,
