I don't know if I'm asking this in a way that makes sense, but-
When building a CMYK profile for an Epson and a proofing paper like
Best, specifically with the intention of proofing, does it make sense to
use the same black generation and GCR/UCR methods of the press profile
profile I'll be cross rendering from?
Sorry about the wording, I'm just wondering if it bears some similarity
if results will be better. Or maybe since it all goes back through LAB
anyway and black regenerated it's a non issue?
I assumed at first I should set total ink to what my paper can take in
order to maximize gamut to make sure it encloses the press gamut, but
then it effects K generation in some colors as well. If there is sense
to having the other settings the same, then should this be the same as well?
If there is some sense to this, where can I get this info about U.S.
Sheetfed Coated v2? I've searched and can't find it.
Or should I just make the most accurate and and best gamut profile I can
for the Epson?
Secondly, are the proofing RIPs doing something that is beyond my
ability by simple multiple conversions with good profiles and proper
rendering intents (including proofer profiles like Kodak Approval or
Matchprint to mimic and toss in the rendering mix when desired)?
Thank you,
Tyler
