As I, and certainly any of the posters on this thread, we are all very aware
of the inherited limitations of the architecture of pre-dawn ICC format
specs and ANSI control choices. This is undoubtedly one of the top reasons
that the ICC have reunions of the "brains" to constantly try to get the most
out of the decided methods and improve the existing and future
implementations of ICC CM.
The science , methods , standards are things that can be discussed until the
technology has well passed on, but one thing is clear. It's the client
paying for the way they see the color on this proof, or that press page.
Indeed that one single observer becomes the the standard observer like it or
not. As Dean Collins , photographer/author/lecturer says, "beauty is in the
eyes of the cheque book holder".
The way we see saturated colors can vary so much with the technical aspects
but also the cultural differences. Tweaking a profile for this would be as
you say, quickly invalidated by the colors reproduced. Yet we were talking
about grey balance. Even though between observers (clients) the ideas of the
colors they're seeing can vary a lot the grey balance is easily decided as
being linear or not. Back to inkjet grey balance. If you want the balance to
look as close as possible to the press K or calibrated composite, often
it'll have to be tweaked. Not something one likes to, nor wants to do but
necessary to agree with the cheque book holders "view" including the viewing
conditions. That brings us back to the Monaco 4 Profiler that has a user
friendly grey balance editor. It works in a way that makes sense to the
people that produce color at the back end i.e.; the press. Now if I could
only afford it....
