I've recently profiled a friend's Olympus P400 dye-sub printer as a favor,
and got weird results. We output the ColorBlind linearization target and
subsequent patches from Photoshop, printing to "RGB color" space with
"Printer Color Mgt." un-checked. I should add here that the files were
prepared by rasterizing the EPS (produced by ColorBlind) into CMYK,
splitting the channels, and merging into RGB. The resulting profile was
supposedly "good" according to the software.
Printing to this space in Photoshop results in a red/orange bias that is
somewhat annoying, certainly not "matching" the 17" calibrated Apple Studio
Display. Working space in Photoshop is Adobe RGB (1998). I made the
profile with ColorBlind Pro 4 and a Gretag/MacBeth Spectroscan. I used the
none filter on the 'Lino. Should I have used a polarizing filter? I haven't
checked the Olympus media for brighteners. Any suggestions?
thanks,
