Please, folks:
PDF Lab doesn't just render to any physical device whatsoever because
Lab is a synthetic space. There are no scanners, no monitors and no
printers that render Lab values directly. This means that a
conversion has to take place or the data objects simply don't render.
It would be very very helpful if you provide settings for the
printing pipeline either off-line or preferably openly here on the
List where we can all pitch in and learn.
Because we all need to learn how all manner of software and hardware
in the printing pipelines that populate our workflows actually
functions. When printing you need to state which Acrobat version,
which Acrobat UI settings, which print server, which RIP and which
ICC settings in the RIP (: if any).
The next update takes the project to PDF generated directly by
InDesign 2.0 and not via Distiller 4.0.5 or Distiller 5.0. This
should be interesting for us all as only InDesign supports multi-page
ICCBased native PDF export as opposed to Distiller which is oblivious
to incoming ICC spaces.
In principle this update could offer two branches, one with objects
defined in Lab and one with objects defined in eciRGB10 ... again for
political correctness. But with eciRGB10 I am not sure if I would
wind up with CIEBasedABC i.e. RGB CSA's, this I'd have to check
first. In any case deviceCMYK is out of the question IMO -:).
Again, it's hard to draw any useful conclusions from statements like
'it doesn't print' or 'I tried everything' -:).
