The target reference files just contain the CMYK or RGB values for the
patches. You need to compare measurement files.
What I do.
I make the profile from measurement file 1.
I assign the profile to the testchart, convert it to Lab, save the Lab
values as measurement file 2, print it, measure it, and save these
measurements as measurement file 3.
Okay, so you take the Illustrator file (thats what I've always printed my
charts out of, and you open it in Photoshop, since you can't convert to Lab
in Illustrator. What resolution do you rasterize at, and I assume dither
shouldbe off. Do you rasterize it to Lab, or CMYK then convert it
afterwards, or does it matter?
This seems to be doing what I thought I was doing earlier. Sounds good. I
just did a convert to press and then converted to my proofer profile and
printed on the proofer, and the image I'm trying to match prints out much
darker, almost black, whereas on screen with my calibrated display
(Artisan) it shows more blue than it prints on the proofer. I'm sure this
means I've got a bad profile somewhere, but am not sure where to start
yet. When you are using a profile for your monitor and this is set in
Display preferences, this conversion to the monitor profile takes place on
the fly, without intervention, correct?
