However, making a good Matchprint profile is not an easy task. The material
tends to confuse some spectrophotometers a bit, it seems.
For the HP 5000PS proofing project the Imation MatchPrint paper was
tested and not used. The color of the paper differed from the paper
standards for production and proofing. The amount of blue matched
uncoated offset but not matte or glossy offset. I thought Matchprint
was supposed to be neutral to warm -:).
The touted (how real?) advantage of Imation's "CFM" in
my opinion is not enough to balance all that.
I can't for the life of me understand this 'CFM' concept, not that I
haven't tried.
The goal of an inkjet profile is to reduce black in highlights and
midtones e.g. as PM / i1 does with a 40% start for GCR or say by a
UCR approach. So what's the idea of mapping the black channel in the
offset profile into the inkjet space when an offset process and an
inkjet process require different black replacement?
