Hi again!
How can I tackle this issue: I want to calibrate my color work from
monitor to scanner and printer, in order to have consistent and accurate
results when I send works outside. But neither of my service bureau for
pre-press and lab for Laser prints use ColorSync (they use closed loop
calibration). I first thought I could have them print a target and then
use a profiling software to create an output profile in which I would
convert the files prior sending. But this seems nonsense and I am
suggested a soft proof monitor profile created on sight comparison with
the Monitor Control Panel. This is what I have done so far and although
it works, it is far from accurate as it only works roughly on the 3
channels colors. Is there any better way for tackling this issue?
