Hi All
One of the favorite subjects!
I'm in the process of getting hold of a hexachrome plus inkjet printer.
The end use is aimed at producing color swatches to a high degree of color
accuracy, and potentially some at quite high chroma (hence the hexachrome)
I was wondering what software packages i need to get the most from the
printer.
From what I can gather most software package such as Photoshop 6 (presently
using) will only allow you to effectively access the CYMK color space of the
potentially CYMKOG printer?
is this true?
If so what software packages are heaxachrome compatible
There is a hexachrome supplied with the rip so am i better getting some
customized software written to maximize potential access to CYMKOG space?
One other issue is truncation of color data, i noticed when using Photoshop 6
that Lab space is only to 0dp, with subsequent truncation of accuracy,
especially in the light colors. I realize that the printer itself may not
differentiate between these color in terms of drop lay down, but obviously
don't wants software truncation making it more difficult to get these
discreet light colors, as I said before the color accuracy requirement is
very high.
Just wondering if anyone knows any protocols or data on assessment, or
assessing the colour variation from inkjet printers? particularly the ffect
of paper, temperature, humidity variation?
Thanks for your help in advance.
As you probably realized I'm a novice in the printing world so i apologize in
advance for any stupid questions above!
Regards Gaz
