The downside of this scenario is that the dots on your proof no longer
have anything to do with the dots on your film/plate. Also, your solids
will no longer be pure colors.The other option available with something
like BestColor is to generate your 1-bit data normally and then color
manage the individual dots. The dots are themselves treated as tiny areas
of color.
Well, this is what essentially is done when copying the one bit tiffs to
Best which then ....oh wait okay. When converting to the output profile
before sending the data to Best, the color management of the Best system
essentially doesn't do anything except to apply the linearization to the
data sent to the Epson. I wonder, if I'm right about that (and please tell
me if I'm not), ...no... I was thinking of having the best system send the
managed tiffs to the dot proofer (if that was even possible), but if I'm
doing conversions before the Best system, then it wouldn't matter, and it
seems I'd be better off to just RIP each time, and lose the benefits of the
ROOM workflow, in order to be able to print color managed to the different
devices and have them represent the reproduction accurately.
Right?
