Good start, but did you use a dot area formula or just a 1to1 relationship? Most
densitometers will calculate dot gain or dot area for you. The big trouble with
pigments and Dyes is that they can look the same and have different spectral
responses. So matching density or dot gain will help, but your still not going
to be totally pleased with your results. Profiling helps allot, but I'm still
finding that the profile needs to be tuned in order to match a conventional
proof. So no matter what you get, Bestcolor or Oris rips or Profile maker or
Monaco for profiling, your works still not done. Always remember your eye has
the final say on what matches or not. I haven't seen a profile yet that didn't
need to be optimized.
