Twenty bucks says he's using PosterPrint. I just tried my first print with
this rip (10.3) and I took my text image and converted it to the output
space via, convert to profile and embedded the profile.
At the rip I imported the image that had been converted and the image
before conversion and assigned the same output profile. Both files used the
same Density curve of the rip and the same intent. The photoshop converted
file printed correctly, the PosterPrint file printed way so saturated even
in the primaries on the CMYK patches along the border of the page.
PosterPrint has a routine where it will 'replace' the 20% dot gain that
Photoshop applies. It gets applied in the Density curve. It seems like a
good idea (first time I heard of that) but I think that has something to do
with it. Some where in the manual I was reading (gotta look it up again),
this thing happens and not happens under different circumstances and they
wanted to try to have two density curves; one for images that had the 20%
dot gain applied, and one for images that did not.
Anyone know of any of this?
