I've found that it pretty much boils down to, if one backing doesn't
produce good results, try a different one. When you get results that
you can live with, KEEP A RECORD of which backing you used.
This variable results thing can be really confusing for those of us
(at least me) who don't have experience with a variety of profiling
packages or who are not immersed in profile building. I have
certainly learned that ICC color management is capable of wonderful
results but it can be difficult to troubleshoot when things are less
than wonderful. The people I know seem to weigh the shortcomings very
heavily and when a variable screws things up they readily trash the
whole icc process. The marketing literature often sets one up for
disappointment.
I would like to hear (very much) how one should go about testing the
behavior and performance of a profile. Are there ways of testing a
profile other than liking or disliking the results or does this
really require broad experience? Liking or disliking is fine but
knowing why is even better and having enough understanding to prevent
poor profile performance would be great.
I know that one ultimately has to "see" the results (easy for
inkjet/expensive for offset) but what can be learned from a profile
before it is implemented? How do you test?
If the answer is trial and error then how can we convince print shops
that ICC color management is better than their closed loop systems?
Thanks for hearing me out and thanks for any light on this.
Joseph
