It's the old trade-off between smoothness and accuracy. If the process
you're profiling is reasonably linear, too many patches can make for a
significant lack of smoothness compared to fewer patches, with dubious
gain of more accurate reproduction of the colors represented by the
extra patches.
When the process is significantly nonlinear (as in Epson inkjet
through the No Color Adjustment LUT), brute force in the form of
thousands of patches is considerably more helpful.
Agreed. I'm primarily dealing with "well-behaved" ink-spitters being
driven as CMYK devices with a decent proofing RIP on the front-end
(GMG, Best, Colorburst, et al). Linearization/custom ink limiting is a
lovely thing. Frankly, I don't see how some of you folks deal with RGB
inkjet profiling. It's like profiling with one hand tied behind your
back! Then again, I'm dealing with folks expecting sub-2.0 delta e
press-to-proof matching. Different strokes I guess.
Later,
Terry
