First of all, thank you Henrik for your reasoned response to my outburst.
re: educating the industry...
>May I suggest the color industry take on that task?
It has, if you look around.
Yes, it has taken it on, but if any color geek can converse with one of
the design shops I work with and not immediately head for the nearest bar...
Let's say it has a ways to go.
Well, the ability to softproof what the agency graphic designer and
press operator softproof on their monitors, and to proof print what
they proof print on their printers.
I'd put money on none of them even having a calibrated monitor.
...
Suppose a printer offered repeatability within dE 2-3. And suppose an
agency offered to contract with you for catalogue photography. The
requirement here might be PDF/X-3, with a specified spectrophotometer
(some give dE 10+ which is unacceptable) and calibration chart for
conformity. You would be able to discuss with the agency based on
remote proofs.
Absolutely, but currently none of the entities you mention have a clue
what you are talking about. Even though I might, I would not be welcomed
into this part of production, particularly if I choose to get paid for
my additional efforts and imply I know how they "should" be doing things.
Don't mean to draw this out, only attempting to communicate what we're
up against. Again, I realize there are some out there making all this
work, content provider-agency-printer.
I would also like to mention, amongst the other RIPs mentioned here,
that StudioPrint by Ergosoft has a non-postscript version available with
all the bells and whistles. I broke down and bough a PC just to run it
and am very impressed.
Thanks to the others who have also commented on this topic.
Tyler
