Good morning,
Can anyone give me something I can make understandable to easily
relay to the sales staff and prepress department regarding this issue?
- Press set to repeatable standards
- Press profiled
- HP 5500 calibrated and profiled
- Profiles patched together
- Result is that our Press, when running our standard densities,
matches the HP proof.
---
- Client submits job
- Files are processed and an HP proof is made
- Press runs up to densities and the sheet matches the HP proof
- Client pulls out his proofs
one created from his office inkjet (quality inkjet)
one created at a color house across town (dot proof - probably Fuji
final proof)
- Client wants our press sheet to match his proofs - not our supplied
profiled proof
---
The decision makers at the print shop now are talking of "tweaking" our
curves
to match the clients proof.
This, I suppose, would involve messing with the linearization of the
platesetter.
(It wouldn't do any good to "tweak" my HP if my plates do not match the
clients proofs.)
---
What does one do about this?
If I "convert" to the press profile upon export, or PDF creation, from
the native file
the colors would still remain consistent to the final file I have --
correct?
I can not believe we are going to need to "tweak" our platesetter
to create custom curves so we can match every clients personal inkjet,
or other proof.
Thank you for your input,
Michael
