Is there a single aim point used by the various RIP manufacturers for
making SWOP Certified proofs? Or does each use a different aim point?
What is the profile called "CSE SWOP" that the Color Burst RIP uses
as an aim point? Is that a standard or ColorBurst profile?
Could profiling a non-certified RIP & printer, and using the aim
point of U.S. Web Coated SWOP v2, fall within SWOP tolerances for
color? If not with USWC v2, would it be possible with a different
profile as an aim point?
Bottom line, just how meaningful is a SWOP Certified system, if the
printer and RIP can be marketed without a spectrophotometer as part
of the package? It just seems to me that people buying into printers
& RIPs that are SWOP Certified aren't getting all they bargain for if
they don't have to have a spectrophotometer for quality control. Yet,
it seems a non certified RIP & printer could very well fall within
SWOP tolerances for color if gray balanced and profiled on suitable
media.
Sorry for the 20 questions, but as I ask different vendors these
questions, and I get different answers.
