RE: Linotype (Heidelberg) PrintTable Editor ICC questions
Print Table Editor ICC is a very modified application that is included free
with Linocolor scanning systems only. It is intended for use only to enable
users of Linocolor, with no other profiling capabilities (or desires) to
create useable profiles for operations within Linocolor. We provide a
collection of generic base tables for this purpose. We do not sell PTE ICC
as a stand-alone application.
Once generated and then saved, the profiles are available to other ICC savvy
applications. The CMYK modifications such as Dot Gain and Gray Balance will
be applied only to the Perceptual branch of the profile, and they are
applied when saved from Linocolor to a CMYK TIFF file. Reopen the images in
Photoshop and you'll see and measure the differences. Do a P2P mode change
and toggle the intents, and you'll see the differences.
There is no support for spectrophotometers, or ASCII data import available
to PTE ICC, nor will it open POICC base tables. The assumption is if you can
generate Printopen ICC base tables, you own POICC and would therefore
control the data generation from within that application. If you own another
profiling application, you would do it there. Or you can edit the profile
from directly within Linocolor 6 and save it for future use, but with the
edits applied, again, only to the perceptual branch. Edit it in Newcolor
7000 v.2.0 and it edits all the rendering intent branches.
