Color Managers of the List,
Following the responses to my post, I am reminded of when the Mac first
appeared as a DTP tool. I say DTP, because those of us who were working with
type setters and shape setters, could spot the Mac DTP version a mile away.
We had 'cowboys' ride in and claim to know what they were doing, but they
were expensive and didn't know kerning from hung punctuation. The tools
eventually got better, but the quality of work got a lot worse first.
Over time we came up with a lot of work a rounds, like editing a ppd with a
text editor to get a different line screen for placed images in PageMaker.
For us, the Mac had to be 'better' than traditional methods before we
changed, and although digital proofing with icc profiles that have not been
edited are good, and until the color software matures, we will have to edit.

This fact was in the back of my mind, so I went out and borrowed a DTP41UV,
scanned and built new printer and reference profiles (from the same patches
used with the DTP41 no UV) and I can not see a difference between the two.
It did not fix my issue.

I am using the exact same technique (for BEST and PrintOpen) that I use to
build the HP5000 profiles - these could be used without editing, although I
am to get them 'closer' by editing.
The only question I have is regarding the Proof Setting for Media White
adaption in PrintOpen page 4-70 of the manual. This option sound like my
issue, but only made a slight improvement
Is this 'metamerism' or optical brighteners, or both ?

I am not simulating paper white (a BEST rip setting).
Thanks,
Darrin.
