Here's my situation...
After optimizing an image for print I "converted to profile" in
Photoshop 7.0.1 (Mac OS X.2).
The file is to be printed as a Lightjet 5000 from Calypso Imaging. The profile
I converted to is the custom LJ5000 profile downloaded from their
website. Calypso
suggests that it be converted with RI Perceptual. When I convert as Perceptual,
it increases the saturation quite a bit. However, when I convert with the RI as
Relative Colorimetric it does the same thing, only not nearly as much
(acceptable, ....
I guess).
I'm thinking it might be the limitations of my display that's the
problem. Although
my "Apple Studio 17" LCD" is calibrated with Spyder / OptiCal, I've heard from
various sources that this particular LCD display won't ever be truly accurate.
I'm not sure if I should go with what looks best on my monitor, or go
with Calypso's
suggestion and trust that their profile's doing it's job, but isn't
being accurately
previewed on my LCD.
Any suggestions ? What would you do, short of purchasing a new display ?
Thanks - Matt
