I have a slew of RGB digital images from a variety of sources to send to the
separator in Singapore for eventual use in 14x12" calendars. They will then
do the CMYK conversions, proof the images on a 4c press and return the
proofs to us. I'd like to send a reference print for each file from our
Epson 1280 (that's another story for another time) and so here's the
question. After I profile the specific paper...
a) Do we print on an Epson glossy paper to show the maximum gamut the image
can reasonably print, in order to give the separator guys & gals a high bar
to aim for (knowing that the CMYK output can't get there), or
b) Do we print from PhotoShop's softproof on glossy paper, showing the most
that a CMYK simulation can show, or
c) Do we print on an Epson proofing paper (semi-matte) with either a or b
above, or
d) "none of the above, what you really should do is .... " (fill in the
blank)
Thanks in advance for your wisdom and experience.
