- Thread-topic: softproofing of cmyk+N or hexachrome using RGB icc?
Thanks for the replies -
The Colorcast technology looks very useful indeed. I am not sure it will help me in this particular case though as the RIP they are using is non ICC compliant (!) and uses a proprietary profiling system - that is one of the reasons I was looking to 'encapsulate' the whole system in a single RGB profile.
Perhaps I can make the RGB profile of the system then embedd that in a Colorcast profile?
I have also come across software which claims to work entirely with RGB profiles negating the need for CMYK+N profiling software completely. Anyone tried this?

All these solutions would require further expenditure however, so I am still interested in whether I can simply profile the system as RGB.
Rob.

I'm not sure I understand your proposed workaround completely, but the best
solution I can think of would be using the ColorCast technology that can be
purchased as an added extra tool with ColorThink Pro.
