It's really not that big of a deal. We have SGI servers as well as
MSW2000, whatever,
and people don't account for the time. It's a moot point when you are
already pushing
large files.
What about submission of jobs by internet or CD?
And SWOP v4 profile is what?
A typo.
People don't embed profiles because they fear their own stupidity as
well as others.
I'm fully aware of the problems with application handling of ICC
profiles being a big problem. But for now I'm trying to see if there's
any value in URL based referencing, or subsetting, of ICC profiles in
images instead of increasing the size of the file redundantly by 2MB
apiece. I do think it impacts people's workflows.
We need to change to thinking through a standard separation inception
point. It doesn't
have to be the final, be all end all, perfect color space, but a
standard just the same
that fingerprints our point in time. A history of reproduction in
2005 for our youth to
learn from. Who gives a shit if it's perfect or not. It's a starting
point.
I'll tell you a really scary story some day Chris about the reason why
no one in this
industry is calibrating to SWOP standards. At least on one that I
speak with that has a
press or commercial prepress facility.
If "no one" is following SWOP, then why would anyone follow a "standard
separation inception point?" I don't follow.
Again, the tag is moot in the commercial sector. This opinion is based
upon working for
one of the largest printers in Northern California, and the fact that,
I've been in 4 of
the top 7 ad agency prepress facilities in San Francisco.
It's not that big of a deal.
What percent of all incoming CMYK image files have an ICC profile
embedded in them?
prebinding
Yuck.
