I have been beating my head against the wall trying to profile my Epson
10600 running Best XXL to match our offset house's AGFA Sherpa proofer which
they claim, matches their press.
Let me give you the history and maybe someone can offer some suggestions.
Equipment:
I use a mac running OS9 with PMP 4 with eye-one to create my profiles. My
monitor has been calibrated many times using 6500K, 2.2gamma with a current
lightness of 88, I just redid the calibration. Our printer is the Epson
10600UC, rip is Best Remote Proof XXL using Best semi-matte paper 9180.
History:
We have done all of our own baselin and paper profile measurements for the
Best 9180 paper with the eye-one. I have profiled the Sherpa using the two
page charts "ECI2002 CMYK i1 1_2.tiff". I have plugged this profile into
the rip as the reference profile and into Photoshop as the proof setup. My
color settings are set to US Sheetfed Coated v2. I get an almost perfect
onscreen soft proof in photoshop 7 with my proofer.
Problem:
When the same CMYK file is printed on the Sherpa it is way off. I have
tried sending both proofers files that have embedded US sheetfed coated v2
profile, the AGFA Sherpa profile and no embedded profile at all (like the
test charts have) and they all look identical, none of that makes any
difference, my proof does not match their proof. All files are CMYK so
there is no RGB-CMYK conversion in the rips. I do not think this calls for
profile editor as I get a "perfect" soft proof. I have looked at this
Sherpa profile and US Sheetfed Coated profile in color eidtor's 3d mapping
and both profiles are very similar with their own minor peaks in different
places.
I am at a loss, I cannot see where the problem lies.
