Yes you can but it's not at all intuitive. The key isn't worrying about
selecting "none" (which doesn't exist) or anything else in the popup where
you select a paper profile. You need to go into Bit Map tab and set the
popup to None (this according to John at CB). I did some tests and sure
enough, no matter what paper profile I picked, the output was the same. I
was still not able to output a target to build a profile successfully.<
Of course you can disable color management to print targets, but you cannot
run an acceptable workflow without the color management engine engaged. In
RIPs like Onyx, Wasatch, you can just use Postershop for layout and printing
and do all color management in Photoshop via profile-to-profile conversions
and save the converted files for the RIP to output. This does not work in
ImagePrint, prove this by printing a 0,0,0 black RGB sqaure with color
management "disabled", next engage a "RGB Source Space" such as AdobeRGB
(which turns on the color managment engine. Print the same black sqaure with
the CM engaged. The black square with the CM engaged is much "more black "
than the one with color management "disabled". You get a drab grey with color
management turned off, which means that will be max black ( looks like L20 on
luster paper with Ultrachromes) if you DONT use the color management built
into ImagePrint.
When printing the targets, simply set the RGB source space to "none", print
the targets, let them dry down, read them in and generate the profile, and put
them into the color folder in ImagePrint. Heidleberg PrintOpen, PMP4, Compass
Profile 2.5.6, Monaco Profiler 4.5 all work fine. On the 10000Cf I was
gettting some pretty monster reds on Kodak 36" Instant-Dry Gloss paper and
even John was suprised the piggies could hit such colors, this was using
Compass Profile. The greyscale wasn't perfect, but quite good and for color
images this worked well. Monaco does better, especially on fine art and canvas
medias. These profilers work fine but run a high patch count because editing
may really hose them and they should be generated right out of the gate. Don't
bother editing the perceptual tables, ImagePrint chucks 'em and rebuilds them
from the RC data anyway. The only preceptual tables Colorbyte uses are their
own, Mark spent countless hours fixing the various problems (purples/blues)
and their sprectral data profiler is better than others on the market, but you
can certainly get really good results with other profilers very easily. I
almost always use thier CWF or Tungsten profiles because none of my customer
hang their prints in GTI D50 light booths, they usually reside on a
wall...Send Colorbyte targets and they will generate profiles (3 spectrolinos
running all the time just doing this).
