Graeme you are "RIGHT ON"!
I suggest that you all purchase and download the interview with Bill
Atkinson about his procedure for printing his beautiful book "Inside the
Stone". You can find this interview on the Luminous Landscape Video
Journal Volume 16. You can download this video at the
"www.luminous-landscape.com/" web site. It is very sad that he had to
make six trips to Japan to find a printer that would adopt his Color
Managed workflow. He worked with the printer to teach them a fully
color managed workflow. They printed his book and say that it is saving
them tons of time and money on all jobs printed since this
"experiment". I suggest that a printer in North America step forward if
he wants to repeat this "experiment".
Here is a quote from the interview..."The pressman was surprised to find
that all seventy two images in the book printed perfectly without
adjusting the press for the content of each page." He just printed to
the exact numbers that Bill had chosen from his press tests and
characterization.
Check out this video. It is a real eye opener to what can be done.
In the interest of full discloser...Michael does an interview with me on
Luminous Landscape Video Journal Volume 17. It is an interview about
basic color science and not nearly as important as the interview with
Bill that appears on Volume 16. I did not receive any monies for this
interview and will not receive any financial benefit from the sale of
any of these video interviews.
If any of you do download and listen to this interview, I would very
much appreciate your comments on what was said. Please give your
comments on this forum.
I mentioned it once before and there was a great silence about it on the
forum. If you agree with it, say so. If you think it is a bunch of
bunk, say so and tell us why you believe this.
Cheers,
Ray Maxwell
P.S. Brooks Jensen, the editor of Lenswork magazine is holding seminars
for photographers on how to work with printers to print high qualtiy
books and magazines. I am dong the color sessions. You can find
infomation at "www.lenswork.com".

I fully agree with this – with one constriction though. If you print
images with vastly different black generation parameters on one and
the same sheet, you will drive the print operator nuts! If he tries
a small correction in color, the non-GCR images will react heavily,
the GCR images nearly not at all.
Perhaps that's a hint that the press is not the right tool to adjust
color,
and that instead it should be run to a standard, and the color adjustment
done electronically ?
