Scott, I don't work with the Fiery RIP software any longer, but, just for my
own information, I would like to hear more details about the procedure you
are outlining, specially the part where you mention loading a good CMYK
profile as a simulation using Colorwise Pro Tools. The questions that come
to mind, from having used the Fiery RIP package in the past, are of this
kind:
- How do you obtain a good CMYK profile from a device that does not allow
you to switch off all controls, or to determine ink limits or quantities, or
paper profiles?
- What test chart(s) do you print to generate the profile (e.g., the 3.5
CMYK)?
- What exactly are the steps of the procedure of "loading the profile in"?
I am not being facetious, mind you, just curious. I may have been missing
something all that time with the Fiery RIP, and, if so, I would like to know
how I could have made it work. If there is a document you have, or that is
on a Web site somewhere, please send me a copy or indicate the URL. Thank
you.
