CM it is still a great time-saver and precision
tool (within limits) for us as users and producers of "color content".
With my EyeOne, the Epson4800 and staying in RGB i was becoming confident.
Exactly: and your loyalty is to the client, not the prepress folks. The
trick, then, is to show the client only what is feasible, and not create
misleading expectations (for example, by giving them prints that are
unrealistic,
I did that, refusing to give prints from the R800 for a long time, but i was doing some for me,
and they wanted some also, and when they compared to the chromalin began the mess ...
or showing them image files on uncalibrated/unprofiled
displays, etc.).
Monitors are calibrated, but it is far from CMYK prints ...
Your new 4800 is the perfect tool for proofing. Now the hard part is for you
to manage it properly. Maybe you want to look at the option of adding a RIP
to it.
Next step may be, but is that really needed to print from CS2 only ?
With semi-mat proofing paper and photo-black ink on the 4800 the prints are really much softer
I don't like too much the look of the prints (!...) but it is a big step toward chromalin, very close.
I would call them "pre-proof", just for "pre-press" (joke)
If you are supposed to deliver CMYK and If you cannot get infos for the offset
press, or the paper:
Then please do try asking someone else more qualified, before you give up:
often it's a sales representative that is talking to you, and he/she rarely
knows squat about prepress issues, though they may attempt to convey an
impression of knowledge and being-with-it.
You are probably right, but when they don't even answer the client ...
It is why i finally asked some advise on the list.
And you also know your images will be printed in different uses (catalogue and
packaging, not by the same people...)
Then it's very unwise to provide more than one file, since it often leads to
chaos and fingerpointing (i.e., the other side pointing their fingers *at
you*).
We decided to deliver a CMYK and a Adobe RGB psd "just in case"
_ What is the safest CMYK to choose,
I would say the one for the highest-quality printing scenario that you are
able to predict is going to be used,
i understand it is Fogra27 ?!...
Make color-managed proofs on your 4800 for these different conversions, and
inspect very closely what comes out. That should be a good starting point to
make any necessary adjustments in the file.
From some tests i did yesterday i cannot see any difference (for this work at least) between fogra or euroscale printed the 4800
the colorspace of the proofing paper of the 4800 is much bigger than fogra or euroscale ...
Thanks
