I use an Eye One with the Eye One Match software, (currently I'm using
version 3.0), and I heard someone comment that there was a problem with
a version of this software creating profiles that can make banding
worse on outputs. Is anyone familiar with this, and if so can you tell
me which version of the software to avoid?
This came up for me recently when we were printing 20" high prints of
some comps for presentation to the client. In one of the images there
was a face that was strongly side-lit so that one side fell off into
shadow. When the image was examined in PhotoShop everything was fine,
but when printed on the HP with a profile I had made there was severe
banding on the face right at the transition to the shadows. When I
soft-proofed the image in PhotoShop I saw the banding and could confirm
it was a problem with the profile.
Interestingly that profile was made with the i1 CMYK target which just
has one letter sized page. I had recently experimented with using the
ECI 2002 target (4 letter sized pages) and that profile resulted in
much less severe banding (though there was some). My thought had been
that the smaller set of patches would give smoother transitions while
the larger set of patches would result in a more accurate print
appearance.
Could this be a problem with the software? Should I upgrade to the
latest version (3.2)? Or could this be an inherent problem with the
smaller target?
Thanks!
