I use following configuration: Onyx/Postershop 5.5 Rip, HP5000 Dye Inks,
I tried to print a grayscale image afterwards.
Now I`m really unhappy. The grey was totally greenish.
Only if i use a lot of black in the print open output profile dialogue it
seems getting better.
Any suggestions or even solutions???
The stock ICC profiles for the HP 5000 are graybalance neutral as far
as I recall. The stock Adobe ISO 12647-2 and TR001 profiles are, too.
One way to achieve a neutral L gray wedge is to use a long and narrow
black UCR, as you know. Another is to use profile editing, but this
is quite hard to do with the editing tools in profiling applications.
'Totally greenish' sounds quite dramatic. If not all steps in the L
wedge are neutral, that's one thing. If the whole wedge has a uniform
cast, you wouldn't by any chance be applying the profile to the wrong
paper / ink configuration?
For instance, if I use the stock HP5000_PhotoImagSatinMaxQ.icm
profile for another paper with about the same white point, an L wedge
will show a uniform global cast with all steps equally graduated.
You are not using the PostScript version of the HP 5000, as far as I
understand, so in-RIP emulation can't be the cause.
