Hello,
I've been reading this list for a while and it has been very helpful.
I'm wondering if I could ask for a short an sweet pros and cons of the
more talked about measurement instruments and profiling software. Not
cheap/expensive, slow/automated, I can figure that out. More on issues
of accuracy and flexibility.
I'm in the process of upgrading my colour management equipment and
software. Currently I own an Xrite DTP 51, DTP 92, ColorBlind monitor
spectrophotometer and for software ColorBlind Pro, and Candela
ColorSynergy. (I don't use ColourSynergy much any more)
I'd like to do linearizations, measure ink limits and consistency
checks along with creating display, RGB output, CMYK output and scanner
profiles. The output profiles are mainly for large format inkjet
printers but I use them for desktop inkjets and laser printers. I use a
variety of RIPs Wasatch, Shiraz, (Jaws), Visual Edge (Harlequin). I'm
also playing a bit with GIMP print and CUPS on OS X.
I've been using some form of colour management for years with decent
results but I know it's time to upgrade especially the colorimeter.
I've been looking at the Eye-one, the spectrolino or the DTP41 for
instruments. ProfileMaker, or MonacoProfiler for reading and profile
generation.
Does anyone have any advice on these or other systems? Sorry if I've
over stepped the spirit of this form. I'm not looking for specific
endorsements, perhaps just a heads up or two.
Thanks,
Kevin Cunningham
