Having just completed some similar tests with a large-format inkjet, I'll
stick my neck out and say, "yes", it will work. As long as the
press/pressperson holds the original settings, which really is a big "if".

I had this printer print the Monaco targets. I profiled from the press

Very impressive match to the press sheet.

Now I take the images and set photoshop to a cmyk working space with a

I proof these converted images with the quickset I made from their press

With one variation. They use Toyo inks and the pinks in the product

Now the printer is going to press proof the converted images at the same

settings they printed the profile targets at.

What do you think? Will it work?

I'm waiting anxiously.

For the next step I want the printer to switch to a Rhodamine red and

repeat the profiling test.
