Title: Re: Pre-Linearization or Iterative Profiling (WAS Re: Printer profile mis-shape?)
So my long-winded point here is that MP48 does linearize your device. It
uses Lab. When used in conjunction with a density-based RIP, it will change
how the printer prints, prior to printing the ICC target.
How is that? If you don't take the lin file and use it on the RIP or device, how does it change the way to printer prints, prior to printing a target?
ColorBurst uses the X-Rite lin file to change the way it prints but what we're talking about optimizing other processes that can't utilize the X-Rite lin file.
Scott,
Linearization changes the behavior by constructing a curve from its own linearization measurements. Just like a RIP, the ICC target is pass through the curves, resulting in a new “curved” target. You must use the lin data in MonacoPROFILER to curve the target – otherwise the process doesn’t work. When you advance from the linearization stage to the profiling stage, the lin curves are loaded under the hood and used to change the target values. That is why a linearized target has different values than an unlinearized target.
Hope this helps,
Marc
