Hi all...
I have just a few general questions about when and
where to use color profiles and was hoping that
someone could help me...
Recently, I was assisting an organization with their
color management and discovered that they were
converting their images from RGB to CMYK using
two different profiles. They used one profile for
images that were going to be printed on matte stock
and another profile for images to be printed on gloss
stock. Does this make sense?
The pressman has two different ink color sets on the
ImageControl densitometer unit (Heidelberg 10-color
SM102, very new) for the different types of paper.
Wouldn't this be redundant for them to use separate
profiles in prepress when they're already compensating
for different stocks in the pressroom?
In addition, is there a substantial benefit to having a
custom press profile in use in prepress, as opposed to
using something standard like US Sheetfed Coated v. 2?
Lastly, on the first round of profiling a press run of
an EIC target, I ended up with very accurate color on
an HP 5000, except for an extremely light shade of
green in the background of the printed area. Is it
normal to run into oddities like this? What could be
done to avoid it?
Thanks in advance... I'm very new to color profiling,
etc, so any input will be very much appreciated.
Walt
