Profile Maker 5 dilemma. Am trying to match our Creo Spectrum proofs
to several of our customer's supplied proofs, which is an ongoing
process.
Am currently color correcting in Photoshop to achieve this. I would
like to profile our customer's proofing systems so that I could at
least start out
in the ball park. We already have a Spectrolina, so that is not a
problem. I am trying to keep the price of the software and training at
a level that will
be acceptable to the powers that be.
My questions are:
Is training absolutely necessary?
After ready the manual, the Links module seems to be the most
applicable to my problem but it is expensive. Can I match proofer to
proofer without it?
If you can have your customer supply you with a profiling chart proofed
on their system, you could build a profile of their system. After you
have their profile, the workflow would be to ASSIGN this profile to
their image(s) and then CONVERT to a profile of your Creo Spectrum.
That should get you a Spectrum proof that matches their proof. Keep in
mind that this will be altering the CMYK values in their originals but
you're already doing that anyway if you're manually color-correcting
their images.
If you need to convert whole pages/jobs and not just images, you might
need to incorporate your customer's profile into your Creo workflow
through the use of device link profiles (device link would be from
their profile to your Spectrum).
