With absolute colorimetric rendering you might get the measured color
coming out as paper white, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if you
got something else instead.
So here's the rub. You're shooting a piece of art drawn on white paper.
You expose properly, the image has a lot of paper white space, but
you're going to get killed when you go to print it.
I've never toyed with absolute colorimetric, as it's never been
suggested as a good alternative. I build my own paper profiles and have
had great success, with the exception of high white content repros and
a lot of bright primaries. It's killer to keep all the colours inline.
I can spot read a colour, then adjust the image to match, carefully
observing trade-offs in other colours. But you can chase your tail for
hours doing this. Perhaps there is a more appropriate workflow for
reproduction work that I'm missing. TIA.
