Why don't you just grab the Best Paper Profile for your Epson 10600 and
simply use it as your destination profile in Photoshop and convert
directly to that and save/archive that file somewhere? You'd then
simply create a BestColor Queue with CM deactivated (only your Baselin
in place) and print your file through that queue. By using your
Best/Epson paper profile in Photoshop, you'll have access to rendering
intents, BPC, etc.
One last tip, if you've used Best ProfileKeeper to tag the paper
profile with the output settings, you'll probably not want to use that
one in Photoshop but instead use your original untagged paper profile.
Hope this helps,
Terry

I have been a long time user of Best Color Software which I really
like BTW,
Recently I have found for my business fine art printing (Giclee) that
to get
the best results in regards to CM workflow is I either have to convert
from
workspace to printer profile in PS and print through best color with cm
turned off, or I have to print direct from PS CS to a Best Color Queue
with
CM turned off to. I don't mind printing from PS CS but my only
complaint
with this is PS does not save the last print state that I use to print
a
specific job like what profile did I use, rendering intent and the all
important Black Point Comp setting. Best Color does not do BPC yet.
There
are some work around they offer but they do not work into my workflow.
In
the fine art printing business what happens is I print a job maybe
three
sheets, then I will not print it again for another three months. So I
need
to be able to be able to go back to a job from three months earlier and
print it again with all the same setting.Best Color Handles this well,
but
they have no good options for taking a job off the system and then
being
able to restore it months later. Makes sense it's a proofing rip.
Print job
once then delete it. So after being in business now for four years, I
still
can't come up with a good workflow solution. I love the concept of
using a
rip, for maximum control over my Epson 10600 printers but there are
some
workflow drawbacks. Best Color has it's own soft proofing, PS does it's
thing and of course the soft proof never matches between Best and PS.
So
this brings me to maybe what I need is just a good print spooling
software,
do all CM in PhotoShop and just use Epson's Printer Driver and make RGB
profiles using the TC9.18 RGB target and Profile Maker 5. move away
from
RIP/CMYK.
Any suggestions out there what I may look at. I really need
Photoshop's BPC
to get the best looking prints.
