Hi,
I'm trying to convince a print company to start using color management.
The big problem I'm facing is to deal with "editing in CMYK" habit. They
accept to build profiles for their printers but they insist in editing
only in CMYK. I'm following an "one step at a time" approach and I'll
insist in moving to RGB only after the profile usage is well accept
among the CMYK guys. Of course, I'll show the RGB workflow as soon I
made the printer profile.
I know that there's no "CMYK working space" and dealing with CMYK to
CMYK conversions is asking for trouble. The question is which CMYK
profile should the print guys use when editing the files? The printer
profile? It seems very odd to me... They receive untagged CMYK files
from their customer (actually, they ASK for untagged CMYK files), so the
customer does the separations.
They run large ink-jet printers (solvent based) driven by Scanvec
Amiable's Photoprint. Any recommendation for building profiles for these
printers ? (which target, number of patches, ink limit, CGR settings, etc).
Best regards,
Lorenzo
