Convert to Profile Question.
Little background here - our monitors are calibrated and profiled; our
scanners are profiled as are our Iris proofers. The Iris is set up to
simulate a Fuji ColorArt analogue proof. A profile was made of the Iris
and that is what we use for the RGB-CMYK conversion in PS 6. Our final
images are always CMYK.
We have clients that have their books, mags, etc. prtinted overseas. I
have profiles (output and device link) supplied to me by the overseas
printer.
I need to send our customer proofs that will accurately show what will
be printed overseas.
We scan and proof on our iris - the customer signs off on our iris -
files go overseas and are proofed again by the printer - customer
doesnt like the difference between our proof and the printers.
If we had a supplied output profile from the printer, can we not do a
Convert to Profile on the images (from our output to theirs) and get the
desired results. We have tried this and see major changes in the images.
Do we now have to match the images back to ours based on the softproof.
In other words - it seems as if we do critical colour based on our
proofing system, then we will have to do it all over again based on the
overseas proof. I really thought Convert to Profile would do this for
us.
Am I missing something - is there an easy way to accomplish this?
Thanks - Mike Stewart
