- Thread-topic: grayscale settings for offset printing
QTR doesn't yank it from anything other than a printed target. Design a
target of x patches and also its associated reference file. Print it and
measure it in the same way as one would for colour. If you peep inside
you'll see it uses the A2B/B2A out curves to allow a greater number of
observations but still keep the profile size down. By using these tags
rather than a kTRC one can get colour soft proofing. So if I print with a
toned workflow (say toned quads or Epson Adv B&W) I get luminance management
only PCS->Device and full colour proofing from Device->PCS. I am not
familiar with Colorsynergy.
