I have been comparing profiles made with ColorVision
Profiler Pro for RGB photographic printers with the
spectro measurements used to create the profile, in
ColorThink. ColorVision uses a target made up of
uniformly-incremented samples of all the possible
color combinations. If you view the patch readings in
ColorThink's 3D Grapher, they appear as concentric
layers. When the profile is superimposed on the
measurements, its outer limits lie for the most part
between the outermost layer of readings and the next
one in. In some areas, it goes in past the second
layer to the third. This seemingly indicates that the
full gamut of the printer is not being used. Is this a
common condition? Is it even significant? I don't have
any other profiling packages with which I could make a
comparison.
Thanks,
