* In a recent issue of Inkjetmall News the author recommends
calibrating monitors to 5000K and 1.8 instead of 6500K and 2.2 (for
both Mac and PC) when screen-to-print matching is paramount. I've
been doing the opposite for years with success. Anyone else care to
comment?
Jon Cone and I sparred good naturedly about this and other issues for years; let it suffice to say that Jon has some very unique and intelligent positions on issues. There are certainly some very specific reasons for calibrating to 1.8, or even a couple for calibrating to 5000k (some of them related to Cone's specialized systems); but these are not the best recommendations for most users.
* In a recent issue of PEI magazine, a little item reports that Dan
Margulis ran a test in which he "proved" that no visible differences
result from editing images scanned into 8-bit files vs those scanned
into 16-bit files. Anyone care to comment on this one?
Dan Margulis is the spokesman for the lost generation; those who had a skillset that ICC based color management and other new fangled ideas made obsolete, or at least less necessary. His joy in being the contrarian sometimes overshadows the issue at hand. There is certainly no harm, and some real advantages, to high bit files; on the other hand, its certainly possible to get excellent results from low bit files as well, given that they are well targeted in the first place. Perhaps the best argument on Dan's side of this issue would be that high bit files certainly aren't necessary to do good work, if you know what you are doing, and follow just the right process. But then, the best arguement on Dan's side of the color management issue, over the years, would have (similarly) been that you don't need it to get good results; if you are an expert, and willing to do things in exactly the right manner. But, again, these recommendations are not the best advice to most users!
