Well for this customer it is. They do on average 300 scan's a day per
scanner, and scan everything to CMYK on un-calibrated monitors. And
unfortunately this is not likely to change - neither the CMYK part of the
monitor calibration. They have turned all Photoshop profile warnings off, as
"They are a pain".
They have a DC12, using a Splash server where you can't use Printer
profiles, so we have to run that through iQue. The CMYK separation profile
they use is a generic one done in Photoshop using the custom settings, and
they get pretty good print off it. However, they want their IRIS'es and
their DC12 to emulate the print, and this is NOT happening currently. The
problem they have is that they scan in "Scitex CMYK", open the untagged
files in Photoshop 6, and assign their custom profile, except when they
forget it (as they did for the last two weeks). As I said, this actually
works for their offset workflow, but not for the proofing. When we use a
custom scanner profile and tagged images however, everything is working
beautifully.
So the only (current) problem left is to make the scanner software use the
profiles when doing their CMYK conversion, and embed them. And ideally in a
way where you don't have to do it manually each time...
