Ray, this printing job is an example of "closed-loop color management".
This case has nothing to do with standards or the use of canned (standard)
profiles. It is a statement against "standardized printing".
It is a story of getting high quality images by using ICC color management
tools in a "non standard" printing condition by any cost.
This let some people come to the conclusion that printing to standards
results in moderate quality.
sRGB = "bad" isn't it?
Well, there are bad, good and "excellent" quality examples of sRGB images.
Can you imagine digital photography without sRGB?
Will the ISO standard printing conditions get accepted or
will the "house-standards" prevail?
ICC color management cannot survive without standards.
Kind regards,
Paul Foerts
